March March

First aid training took place on Thursday 9th March for Duke of Edinburgh students.

Students learnt about CPR, how to put a casualty in the recovery position and then defibrillation training.

They also learnt many first aid essentials that will support with their expedition safety.

On Saturday 25th March, three of the Sixth Form silver students completed their final training walk! The weather was perfect and the walk was a circular walk Ventnor to Blackgang for a lunch that students cooked and then back again. We walked 17k and across 20+ gradient lines (steep uphill for nonwalkers!)

The next stage on the Silver Duke of Edinburgh journey is the practise expedition on 5th to 8th May in the New Forest
