Duke of Edinburgh Practice Weekend

Duke of Edinburgh Practice Weekend
 

Over the weekend of 21/22 May 2022, 42 MPS students in Years 9 and 10 took part in the practice Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition.  They completed a map reading activity and walked their planned route from Farthing Down back to MPS on Saturday, then camped overnight and walked to Colley Hill on Sunday morning.  They were supervised by an amazing 12 members of staff who gave up their weekend for our students.

Nicole in Year 9 said “ The DofE trip was a fun experience but a tiring one! We made tea, hot chocolate and boiled pasta without ruining or burning them.  The weather was great and we saw Mr Holloway’s and Mrs Lees’ dogs.  We got blisters but we are proud that we finished the walk."

We wish the students all the best for the actual qualifying expedition which will be taking place on 11/12 June in Ashdown Forest.  Let’s hope the sun shines for them.
