As a reminder to Y10 Silver participants, the expedition training is fast approaching:
Year 10 Silver Training - Saturday 29 January 9am-4pm and Sunday 30 January 2022, 9am-1pm
Pupils have been excused from their sports fixtures as this training takes precedence. We will meet in the Limes Atrium for registration. Please arrive promptly so that we can divide up into expedition groups for the training. Please bring a packed lunch and some snacks plus a pen, note pad and your DofE folder. You may wear sensible casual clothes. A coat and suitable outdoor footwear will also be useful. This mandatory training forms a vital part of the planning and preparation for the expedition section of the award. I very much look forward to seeing you there.
