Charles Darwin School pupils learned team building skills
PUPILS braved freezing temperatures for a training session in preparation for their Duke of Edinburgh bronze award.
The 31 children, from Charles Darwin School, Jail Lane, Biggin Hill, worked in groups in archery, zip-wire and other team building activities.
This event at Downe Scout Activity Centre, Birdhouse Lane, Downe, was the first session by the group.
And after half term they will meet every Tuesday after school in order to train and prepare for their overnight, self-reliant expedition in June.
One of the school’s Duke of Edinburgh co-ordinators Stephanie Miller said: “This opportunity is offered to all students when they reach Year 10 in order to develop self-confidence and self-reliance; it promotes a sense of responsibility; encourages students to discover new skills, interests and talents and develop their leadership skills and abilities.”
