Duke of Edinburgh students have been enjoying the recent sunny weather during their visits to Pennington Flash for a raft building exercise. Students have been participating in building their own vessel and bravely launched it onto the water.
Formed in 1956, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, or DofE for short, is an internationally recognised award that aims to improve the personal development and employability of young people. DofE encourages young people to get involved in exciting challenges and work towards personalised goals. The DofE promotes teamwork, self-discipline, empathy and independence and is something young people will remember for the rest of their lives.
The sessions are held at Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club, well done to all Duke of Edinburgh participants.
