In this episode of Lux Mundi Live, Louis, Elliott and Amy, three of our Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award pupils, sit down to chat about their DofE experiences.

They reflect on their latest (and last) expedition, some of the adventures and challenges they’ve faced along the way, and what they’ve learned through taking part in the award. From navigating the great outdoors to developing new skills and working as a team, they share what makes DofE such a memorable experience.

On Wednesday, pupils in S3 welcomed Jenny Douglas from the Theatre School of Scotland into the school to lead a workshop on all things musical theatre.

Pupils got to experience what life is like at the Theatre School, including exercises in singing, acting, dancing, and even devising some of their own work. The afternoon ended with pupils staging a performance from what they had learned and created.

We look forward to welcoming Jenny and the Theatre School of Scotland back to St Matthew’s in the future!
