Duke of Edinburgh

I spent last weekend hiking through the Gold Coast hinterland with 15 Year 9 students who are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.  It was a fantastic weekend and I felt very privileged to spend this time with such a wonderful group of students.  Here are some pictures from our adventure:

Making camp and updating journals at the end of a big first day

The girls arriving at camp after a long day

Sunset from the camp site was magic

Making our way up to Apple Tree Park - the sign at the top said that we had just climbed a distance 20 stories shorter than the Q1

Time for another creek crossing - who will fall in this time?

The scenery along the way was truly amazing!
 A huge thank you to Ms McKean for her organisation and tireless efforts in ensuring this weekend was a great success.  Thank you also to Joel, Steve, and Robbo for your leadership and for the care that you showed the students during the trip.  I am really looking forward to the next one.
