Gold News
Congratulations to Florence Shekleton, Emelia MacDonald, Zoe MacIntyre, Rebecca Joyce and Rachel Wilson who have completed and passed their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award with d’Overbroeck’s College.
The girls were described as a model group while completing their expedition in Snowdonia in June. They excelled in camp craft and, with their different strengths, worked exceptionally well as a team. The girls carried with them the equipment needed to gauge different physiological measures as well as their trangias, sleeping bags, tents and anything else needed to survive for the 4 days hiking and camping. Well done!
