Students Conquer Outdoors
A program designed to empower young students, The Duke of Edinburgh Award, saw 23 Canowindra High Students participating for Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. The worldwide program has 8 million participants with 700,000 being from Australia in the past 57 years. Canowindra High School have been participating in the program for four years now, with this year being the first that Canowindra High School have had 3 students go for gold. Julia Stanley, Will Wright and Hamish Gregson will all work to achieve their 52 hours of work in community service, learning a new skill, physical activity and going on a number of overnight hikes. “I think the best thing is that if they can complete a hike, carrying all of their gear on their back, they can do anything! It’s
pretty tough and it gives kids a lot of confidence.” said teacher Andrew Phelan. The most recent hike was out on the Nangar Road where students were required to set up their own camp with a camp fire to cook and keep warm. “A highlight for the most recent hike was when Jamie Austen set up a couple of lines to go yabbing, then later cooking them up for dinner, that was pretty special as some students have never done that before,” Andrew said. To break up the hike students had a canoeing and kayaking lesson from Mark Edwards, as he taught them capsize and rescue drills. The Bronze certificate students then departed the group and Silver and Gold continued on to Cucumber Creek. Continued on page 4
