22 Sep JRCS Duke of Edinburgh Gold
Last week eight students from Year 12, one ex-student and a student from Robert Clack travelled to the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award qualifying expedition. For some students this had been two years of planning and preparation, for others they had been preparing for at least twelve months. The four day, three night trek took place despite some really wet and windy weather. Despite these conditions, one group even managed to make it to the top of the highest mountain in South Wales, Pen Y Fan. All the students deserve high praise and congratulations for their resilience and commitment to seeing the expedition through to the end. The students involved were:
Gabi Sartauskaite, Ibukun Aluko, Ebun Ajala, Tolu Oluwole, Moyin Adetoye, Maryam Heydari, Aiesha Francis, Kelechi Ogbonna (all Year 13), Nathaniel Atuejide (ex-student) and Rachel Branzikova (Robert Clack School).
Big thanks also go to Andi and Juliet Parker-Smith who stepped in at the last minute to help with staffing the trip, and provided invaluable support when the minibus refused to start!
