Well done to the four groups of Year 11 pupils who have successfully completed the qualifying expedition for their Silver Award with @DofE Northern Ireland.🥾

Over the last three days they have battled rain, been eaten by midges and even met a donkey or two along the way!

“You can go and collect fir-cones for me,” said Kanga, giving them a basket.
So Tigger and Roo went to the Six Pine Trees and threw fir-cones at each other until they had forgotten what they came for, and they left the basket under the trees and went back to dinner. ~A.A.Milne
