Thanks to all the parents and carers who attended the recent S3 Parent & Carer – Expedition Information Evening.

Please find the presentation and other useful documents below:

1. DOFE Intro Presentation (OCT22) – Bronze
2. programme-ideas-Physical-1
3. programme_ideas_-_skills
4. programme_ideas_-_volunteering

If you missed the meeting, students should familiarize themselves with the requirements of the Bronze DOFE Award using the PowerPoint presentation above.

Students can start their DOFE award right away. To do this they need to choose an activity from each of the three sections above, ask an adult to be their assessor; one assessor per section and starting making a note of the activity they undertake.  this can then be uploaded into their edofe accounts when these are setup.

If any student is unsure how to progress with their DOFE Award, then they should speak to Mr Boag ASAP.

For all S4 DOFE Students:

Thank you to those that managed to return their kit yesterday.

If you still have your kit at home, can you bring it into school on Friday, 29th Sept.  More details are on our DOFE Google Classroom.

I have just had it confirmed that DOFE kit is to be returned to the Fairweather Hall at 4.30pm TODAY, if possible.

Apologies for the short notice, but I would be very grateful if parents/carers worked together to have all kit returned today.

Thanks

2. An S3 Google Classroom has been setup and has details of our first DOFE meeting (Wed, 27th Sept at 2.45pm).

3. A parent’s/carer’s meeting will be arranged for some time in October, this will be online and in the evening. I will run through what the students need to do to achieve their Bronze DOFE Award and the costs associated.  If parents/carers have any questions regarding the award, then either wait until the online meeting, see the DOFE website or contact the school directly.
