S4 – Duke of Edinburgh Group

The S4 DOFE Group have their assessed expedition on the 28th & 29th Sept.  Students should meet at school on Thursday, 28th Sept at 9am with their rucksacks packed and ready for a day of hillwalking.

Students will be accompanied to the Barrhead train station where they will travel by train to Drumfrochar train station. Students will therefore require a small some of money to purchase a train ticket.

All kit will be issued from The Edge community centre at 5pm on Tuesday, 26th September. Students will require to hand over a £50 deposit – either cash or cheque – before collecting their kit.

Students should reflect on how much food/kit they brought with them on the practice expedition in June and adjust according.  Similarly, all food should bought as a group and shared with those in your tent. Remember to pre-cook any meat!

Can all S4 DOFE students see Mr Boag by Friday, 15th Sept so that I am aware you have seen this message. I also need you to complete the final piece of paperwork too.
