SILVER DofE PRACTICE EXPEDITION Congratulations to our Silver DofE students who have just returned from their Practice Expedition in Walesby Forest! Students endured sun, rain and even hail whilst they refreshed their navigation skills and campcraft. Staff were really impressed with their resilience and teamwork throughout - well done to all of you and good luck on your Qualifying Expedition in June! Additionally, thank you to the Lincoln Minster Round Table for their donation to our Duke of Edinburgh's Award, which was used to buy team rucksack covers for all our students. This weekend was the first time all ten sets have been used, and it has made a huge difference in being able to identify groups quickly and easily, as well as making us look super smart and professional!
