SUMMER STORAGE TASKS

Though we're in recess until after the school summer holidays, our leaders have been busy preparing our new storage facility at the South Halls. The need for a new store room was driven in part by the planned and recent removal of the stage in the main hall and to find a location for our equipment stored under it - sports and DofE equipment. Following discussions with the church, they agreed to provide us use of the Kelvin room, directly opposite the main hall. This new store room gives us the ability to amalgamate and store all our equipment/resources into the one location, and in turn provide all sections with that ready and easier access to it, which will help with programme delivery & development.

Yet to be fully completed, we hope to have all equipment transferred in by the start of the new session.

Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Success

At our annual awards night, one of the awards we presented was a Duke of Edinburgh Award (a Bronze to John McIntosh). As advised then, more DofE awards were in the process of approval, and we were delighted that these were signed off at as complete at end of last month, with the badges and certificates delivered shortly thereafter to senior boys, Lewis Byrne (Bronze) and Arran Byrne (Silver).

The DofE award is a progressive scheme with each level requiring an increasing level of focus, time commitment and development from participants across 4 key components - expedition, physical, skill and volunteering.

Well done to all our recent DofE award recipients.
