They also conducted several scientific experiments, all the while meeting the requirements of their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award adventurous journey.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The trip culminated in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with whale sharks, where the students were thrilled to encounter a dugong, dolphins, a large stingray, and even an octopus. It was truly a remarkable and enriching experience for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our Duke of Edinburgh team, in collaboration with the science department, is already working on plans for the 2026 tour. We are excited to build on the success of this trip and provide more students with similar unforgettable experiences in the future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ms-outlook-mobile-signature\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>\u2013 Glen Mole<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nDuke of Edinburgh Award Leader<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Click on image gallery for full size images.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4986 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3416.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3416-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3427.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3427-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3477.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3477-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3479.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3479-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3497.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3497-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3508.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/06\/IMG_3508-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of 18 enthusiastic science students, along with three dedicated staff members, embarked on a six-day kayaking adventure at Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth in Western Australia.
