To all S3 Duke of Edinburgh students:

Our DOFE Parent & Carer Information Presentation will take place on Thursday, 3rd October  at 7pm (NOW 730pm).

All students should have access to our S3 DOFE Google Classroom and the online meeting will take place using the posted link in the Google Classroom.

The presentation will cover all aspects of the Bronze DOFE award including uploading evidence, section deadlines, payments and expeditions.

It is imperative that students do not attend this meeting by themselves. Typically, students that are supported at home, and in school, go on to achieve the Bronze DOFE Award. We request that students join the meeting accompanied with a parent or carer.

Still time to join

If any S3 student has not had a chance to sign-up for DOFE, they should see Mr Boag ASAP. All S3 students wishing to undertake DOFE this year should attend this meeting.

The S3 DOFE Club is up and running.

Any S3 students wishing to undertake the bronze DOFE award should see Mr Boag ASAP.

The cost of the award, including expeditions, will be £200. This will be paid in three instalments (funding is available to assist some students, depending on postcode).

The arrangements for the assessed DOFE expedition are:

1. Students should meet at the Barrhead train station on Thursday, 16th May around 830am (we must catch the 8.56am train to Glasgow Central). ** Do not buy a ticket, these have been purchased for you!
2. Students should make sure they follow the advice from the practice expedition: being ready to cook a substantial meal and bring your own rubbish bags so you can carry your rubbish home.
3. Students should stay together when in their walking groups – as per advice from the practice expedition.
4. The weather is looking better, tomorrow and Friday. Adjust the amount of clothes you bring, but also think about a hat to keep the sun off your face and neck, sun tan lotion, midge spray, midge net etc.
5. Students should still be prepared for a rain shower or two. You’ll need a waterproof jacket and trousers and have a change of clothes for when you get to camp.
6. We are hoping to be back at Barrhead train station by 3.30pm on Friday although this may be 4.30pm if we have to catch the later train. Students can be collected or dismissed from the train station. Follow our X (twitter) account for updates: @Barrhead_DOFE
