S3 Duke of Edinburgh Group

All S3 DOFE students should be progressing with their three sections: Physical, Volunteering and Skill. If any student is stuck or unsure they should see Mr Boag ASAP.

Calendar of Meetings

DOFE Calendar – 2021-22

As of next week, our school meetings will be moving to after school. This will give us time to show students how to navigate using a map and compass, put up tents, cook with a Trangia stove and First Aid.

ALL S3 DOFE STUDENTS MUST ATTEND AS MANY OF THESE SESSIONS AS THEY CAN.
(Students are not allowed to attend an expedition without having been trained first.)

Deadlines
In addition to the training above, DOFE students must have TWO SECTIONS completed by the time we are out on the assessed expedition in September. If any student is struggling to meet this deadline, then please see Mr Boag.

Next Meeting
Our next DOFE meeting will be on Wednesday, 27th April at lunch time.  All S3 DOFE students should attend.

Thanks,

Mr Boag
