Our Compass and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award group started their activities this week. On Tuesday 19th March after school our students made their way to Clifford Park activity Centre in Wonga Park.

Our mission was to work together, developing our problem solving skills and build together as a team to work around ‘Challenge Valley”. Challenge Valley is a group of obstacles featured in a bush setting where you have to work effectively as a group in order to complete it. The students faced logs, high walls, and swing across thick mud pits and dark underground pipes.

All students embraced the session; they constantly demonstrated individual determination and resilience in themselves, but also responsibility and support to assist their group members.

It was a great spectre to see, watching students from across the school having fun and just having a go! Great job to all and thank you to Mr Chapman, Ms Sargeant and Ms Wilkins for supporting the afternoon!
