Our Bronze DofE participants took part in their first expedition training session this week, where they tackled key preparation tasks including putting up tents, organising group kit, and planning food menus for their upcoming expedition in June. The session was a great opportunity for students to develop vital skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience—all essential for a successful expedition experience.

Next week, in Session 2, the focus will shift to route planning, where each group will work together to map out their walking routes and further refine their expedition plans.

Information about Duke of Edinburgh for current Year 8 and students in Year 9 and above will come out at the end of June.  For any further information please email dofeaward@coombedean.co.uk
