The Duke of Edinburgh students should be incredibly proud of completing the expedition section of their award, which involved canoeing down the beautiful River Dart and camping at Buckfastleigh. Throughout the expedition, they showed great determination, resilience, and teamwork, supporting one another every step of the way.
One of the highlights of the trip was the group successfully cooking their own spaghetti bolognese over the fire, demonstrating both independence and cooperation. The students also enjoyed some memorable moments along the way, including spotting a seal during their journey down the river and having an amusing encounter with a particularly grumpy goose while canoeing, which certainly kept everyone entertained.
The training team complimented the students on how exceptionally well they worked together, even commenting that their teamwork was of such a high standard that they would have been capable of completing and passing the Gold Award. Everyone at Devon School is extremely proud of their achievements, and we look forward to seeing the students complete the rest of their award and progress onto their Silver Award in September.
