We are near the end of the D of E season and have had three successful 3-day Silver Expeditions for both direct entrants from Year 12/13 and those completing their Silver Award in Year 11. All the students passed their expeditions with the assessors being extremely impressed with the standards they set themselves and commented on how Guthlaxton College is always incredibly easy to assess due to the training the students receive being applied so well in the field.

The Bronze Award students will be doing their expeditions on June 18/19 and July 2/3 this year and hopefully going on to Silver next year. The direct entrant Silver students will complete their expeditions in September 2011.

There are 14 students doing silver and bronze awards this year and numerous others from previous years still completing their awards during the year. Congratulations to all the students that have completed their award at whatever level. It takes considerable perseverance, dedication and teamwork to complete.

The following students have completed their awards recently:

Danielle Smith   HWL - Bronze
Rebecca Cooke    WAJ - Bronze
Staci – Ann Rojahn   DSE - Bronze
Adam Langeveld  WBW - Bronze

Well done to all students that have completed and are not mentioned above.

Paul McBride and Rebecca Higgs [DofE Leaders]
