Some of our senior pupils headed out yesterday on a trial run of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award challenge.<\/span><\/u><\/a>
\nThe real event takes place on Friday 17th June at Lochgoilhead.<\/p>\n

They made their way to Eglington park in Ayrshire and set up camp.
\nLate afternoon they set off on an adventure, learning how to use maps to navigate their way to a central point.<\/p>\n

All of these opportunities gives our young people an opportunity to be independent, self-sufficient and to be challenged as an individual.<\/p>\n

Dinner was the highlight of the evening’s activities and pasta was the order of the day!
\nHowever we made the most amazing s’mores……….. and we had a great night telling stories and gazing up at the stars.<\/p>\n
