The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE)


Congratulations to all of our year 10 pupils, who successfully completed their 2-day DofE Bronze qualifying expedition in Gortin Glen Forest Park, this past weekend.

The Expedition phase promotes personal growth, resilience, and teamwork, offering valuable experiences that foster leadership and self-confidence.

The weather was warm and sunny and the pupils thoroughly embraced their outdoor learning experience.

A huge thanks to the staff members who helped facilitate the expedition and to Mr Gordon Aiken and Mr Charles McFarland who assessed the pupils’ navigation, teamwork and camp-craft skills.

I think everyone is looking forward to some respite from the midges and a comfy bed!

Well done to all involved.

The pupils can now look forward to continuing their DofE journey back at Lisneal College.
