Yes! Our practical events for our new groups got underway on Thursday 29th April, when over 45 students between all of the 4 levels of Award groups worked their way around different routes around Lilydale. The students were excellent and worked very well with each other in their groups, learning to recognise placements on the map and making decisions as a group as to their navigation.

It was excellent to see all the groups coming back together and walking along Nelson Road with the sunset behind them. It was a fantastic start, especially to our young junior groups in Years 7 and 8. Well done to all and we look forward to developing our cooking and camp-craft activities in our upcoming after school training events.
