The Duke of Edinburgh Award
Well done to seventeen Barrhead High students who completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award – Practice Expedition at Whitelees Windfarm this week. The weather was abysmal, but the attitude, behaviour and effort of the students was first class! Well done to all involved and here’s hoping the assessed expedition in June 2013 has more favourable weather!!
