DCGS DofE

Congratulations to the Y12 students who completed their DofE Gold Expedition in the Brecon Beacons! Thank you to the @Ocean_Rock instructors who helped make the expedition a success.

Good luck to the 128 Year 10 students who have set out on their first Bronze DofE Expedition! We hope that the students enjoy the fantastic weather and experiences they will gain over the weekend - a brilliant opportunity to collaborate with their peers and learn new skills.

Forty-two of our Year 12 Gold students are setting out on their practice and qualifying expeditions in Dartmoor today. Best of luck and enjoy yourselves!

Our 150 Bronze students completed their enjoyable, albeit wet, practice expedition over the weekend. Great job to all!

Congratulations to the 36 year 11 students who were presented with their certificates of Achievement for completing their volunteering, Physical and Skills sections this week!!

Congratulations to all the yr 10s who completed their Bronze practice expedition on March 15th at Hodgemoor Woods! Hopefully we can continue with the other expeditions as soon as possible. Remember to keep doing your DofE at home with the new suggestions Mr Sharp has given!

Good luck to all Bronze students! Fingers crossed with the weather!

Congratulations to all the Yr12s for completing their Gold practice, 90,000 steps down and many more to go... To all the parents, we should be back at school at 7pm. - R&F

Hi everyone, Rebecca and Fraser here! We’re the DCGS Duke of Edinburgh ambassadors for the next year and looking forward to helping out anyone looking to take part in and complete the Award Scheme!

It’s been an absolute pleasure helping out as DofE Ambassadors over the last year but all good things must come to an end! Best of luck to Fraser Barnes and Rebecca Fogarty, who will be taking over the roles. Goodbye and thank you from Ethan & Ella! :) #DofE #DofESouthEast

It's great to see so many Year 10 boys starting their DofE journey this week! You will receive your Bronze Welcome Packs this week. #DofEBronze

Well done to three of our students who have already completed their Gold awards! Congrats to Sophia Arora, Marco Bruno Tomé Freire and Arjun Dhillon! #DofEGold

Year 13 Gold Students - don’t forget that you still need to deliver your expedition presentations to Mr Sharp to finish the Expedition section of your award. See GC for the date and time of each team’s presentations (some teams still need to arrange this between them).

Year 12 students interested in starting DofE Gold this year - look out for us at the Opportunities lecture tomorrow and keep an eye out on the weekly emails! #DofEGold

Welcome back to another school year! We hope everyone has had a relaxing and productive summer holiday. We look forward to introducing DofE Bronze to our Yr10 students and DofE Gold to our Yr12 students within the coming weeks so look out for that! #DofE

Good luck to our 5 Gold students who have organised their own Gold Qualifying Expedition for tomorrow. They're off to canoe along the River Wye! #DofEGold
