Well done to this year’s International Award Silver participants for successfully completing their adventurous journey in Mt Menalon! Over three days, the pupils navigated mountain trails using maps and compasses, working together as a team and making decisions independently.
Although the nights were particularly cold, the team showed excellent resilience and determination throughout the expedition. On the second day, an unexpected change of plan meant that the hike did not go as originally intended. However, the students rose to the challenge, adapted to the new circumstances and overcame the difficulties together, keeping their spirits high throughout.
Each day brought new challenges, requiring the pupils to work together, support one another and remain positive. Carrying all their own equipment and supplies, they demonstrated great perseverance making the most of their experience in the beautiful surroundings of Mt Menalon.
A huge congratulations to our Year 11 IA Silver team for their resilience, positive attitude and successful completion of this challenging expedition!
