For all students attending the DOFE expedition on the 6th & 7th Sept.
Further to my previous DOFE post of 19th August, please note the following:
- All expedition kit will be issued from the Fairweather hall (G77 6BB) on Tuesday, 30th August at 5pm. Students should remember to bring their £50 deposit. Ideally students should group together and have one parent/carer collect kit for two or three students, rather than each individual student making their way to the hall.
Consent Forms
A number of students received their consent forms for the expedition prior to the summer holidays but have not yet returned this to me. Can all consent forms be returned to me by Tuesday, 30th August. If a student has lost their consent form, they should ask at the school office for another copy.
Travel Arrangements
With a few students dropping out of the dofe expedition we will be able to travel to the Greenock cut by minibus rather than train. All DOFE students should meet Mr Boag at Barrhead High School at 8.45am on Tuesday, 6th Sept. We will return to the school by 4pm on Wednesday, 7th Sept.
Returning Expedition Kit
I have been given Thursday, 8th Sept between 4pm and 5pm as the date and time for kit to be returned to the Fairweather Hall. This will be confirmed during the expedition.
DofE Account Evidence
Having reviewed all eDofE accounts this week, all students (baring two) need to put some serious time and effort into having as much evidence as possible uploaded by the expedition date.
Students were set a target of having all three sections (Physical, Skill and Volunteering) completed prior to going out on any expedition. As a compromise, all students must fully complete two sections before going on expedition.
A completed section would consist of 12 separate text pieces of evidence, four photographs and an assessors report. Students also need to have had their section submitted for approval, and once all evidence has been uploaded, submit the completed section for final approval by Mr Boag.
