As part of the training for their Duke of Edinburgh's Award Gold expedition, our Lower Sixth pupils have completed a six-hour outdoor first aid qualification awarded by ITC First.
The pupils spent most of the day training with instructors from Adventure Training North East, ending the day demonstrating how they would deal with a variety of First Aid scenarios that might arise on expedition.
Working towards a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award can be a life-changing experience. Pupils discover new interests and talents, have fun with friends and develop essential skills for life and work. The DofE award is a recognised mark of achievement and respected by employers.
