Last weekend, 28-30 March, 10 students took part in a Silver Duke of Edinburgh International Award in a Qualifying Camp visiting several Gold Coast’s locations. Students had carefully planned their itinerary and travel arrangements, as well as cooking for themselves in the evening and preparing their own lunches and snacks prior to the walking and exploring component of the DOE award.

The focus of the students Adventurous Journey Exploration Task was to document the impact of Cyclone Alfred on the Gold Coast environment and look at the rebuilding process.

The weather on Saturday certainly served as a reminder of the weather event that hit the Gold Coast a few weeks ago, as students and staff braved wind and rain to view the damage caused.

The students were accompanied by Head of Outdoor Education, Mr Andrew Sole and Mrs Sonia Hayes.
