Last weekend the students listed below went out on the practice weekend to Lea-Valley. It was a great start with the navigation, the students moved through the check points with ease, one group had to be put right on the direction of travel.  On arriving at camp, I was impressed with the way the students set up camp and got on with the evening meal.  The next day was an early start at 6:00am; this is an area which the students need to work on! We were supposed to have moved out at 8:00am but did not depart until 8:30am.

The staff were on the ground ensuring students were heading off in the correct direction and ensuring they had gone through most of the locations. The groups finished at checkpoint 9 at 3:00pm on a nice sunny day. Well done to you all for completing your Bronze practice run.  I would like to thank Miss Draisey, Mr Dignam, Mr Kirkbride and Miss Smith for giving up their weekend to support the students and bring them home safely.
