Last weekend (8-10 August), seven students took part in a Silver Duke of Edinburgh International Award in a Qualifying Camp visiting several Gold Coast’s locations. 

Students had carefully planned their itinerary and travel arrangements. As well as cooking for themselves in the evening and preparing their own lunches and snacks, prior to the walking and exploring component of the DOE award.

The focus of the students' Adventurous Journey Exploration Task was to investigate Sustainability Projects within the Gold Coast environment and look at the impacts on the local community.

The weather on Saturday and Sunday certainly served as a reminder of the weather event that hit the Gold Coast in recent weeks, as students and staff braved wind and rain whilst navigating around the Gold Coast.

The students were accompanied by Head of Outdoor Education, Mr Andrew Sole and Mathematics Teacher, Mrs Monica Olivier.
