Duke of Edinburgh

The Semester Two Year 9 Duke of Edinburgh students have made a solid start to achieving their goals for their Bronze Awards.

So far this term our 19 students have been on their first adventurous journey – completing a 12km hike around the beautiful and famous Werribee Gorge. This was a great opportunity for each student to experience the great outdoors, and push their physical limits in what was a challenging hike. Their next adventure will see them journey to the CBD to complete a day of Indoor Rock Climbing.

Our students have also completed their first of three volunteering days with the Pinkerton Landcare and Environment Group. This experience gave students a chance to give something back to their community – and all participated in planting and land maintenance activities under the supervision of Frances Overmars, from the Pinkerton Group.

Be sure to check future editions of the Melton Mail for updates on our students activities and progress.
