Gold and Sliver Duke of Edinburgh students recently completed a 3 night adventurous journey at the start of the holidays.
The weather forced a change in plans from tramping in the Ōhau area to basing themselves locally and tramping in the Herbert Forest, Trotters Gorge and Windsor areas. They completed approximately 30km of journeying and learnt how to make safe decisions by embracing some challenging weather conditions with lots of wind, rain and snow. The students had to fully prepare for the tramp themselves, cook, and spend some nights out in tents.
Thanks to Mr Farrell and Mr Harris for supervising the tramp!
We currently have over 60 students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh programme, and are looking forward to getting out for some more tramping over the next few months!
