Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Silver

Last week, students from our Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award group joined forces with De La Salle Caringbah for an unforgettable Duke Silver Practice Adventurous Journey in Huskisson. Over three action packed days, they embraced the challenges of hiking, exploring, and learning new skills, while strengthening friendships and pushing their personal limits.

The adventure kicked off with a hike to a waterfall in Macquarie Pass National Park on the drive down. The day continued with a trek from Plantation Point back to Huskisson, along the beach soaking in the stunning views of Jervis Bay.

Rising early on Day 2, the group embarked on a sunrise hike in Booderee National Park. Those who were keen braved the cold for a swim at Murray’s Beach, they explored local history with a visit to the Maritime Museum, before wrapping up the day with an exciting dolphin cruise, where pods of playful dolphins put on a show.

The final day led students from Currawong out to Gosangs Tunnel, culminating in a breathtaking panoramic view. 

A special highlight of the trip was Mr Pagano’s astronomy lesson, where he shared his passion for the stars, teaching students how to use them for navigation and timekeeping while identifying major constellations.

A huge congratulations to all involved. We look forward to the next adventure in November.
