Bronzing in the Sun

Today our Year 9 Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award pupils have set off on their expedition section of the award.

The Duke of Edinburgh awards was founded in 1956 by Prince Philip largely designed, by John Hunt, who had led the first successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953. The awards is an opportunity for young people across the country to take part in outdoor challenges, develop skills and become supportive citizens through voluntary work.

Our Year 9 cohort are at the beginning of this journey with future opportunities for Duke of Edinburgh Silver and Gold to follow. Whilst only at the start, the enthusiasm is strong and it has been a pleasure to see them prepare for this next adventure. Coupled with volunteer and skills work the awards help to build both confidence and mirror the values of an Etone Learner.

Whilst for many this is the first foray into an expedition, the kit, the knowledge and the preparation is something to behold. Best of luck and keep posted for updates.

Year 12 Sustainability Ambassadors Design Eco-Friendly Hotels

Our Year 12 students have been using their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and build impressive hotel models as part of their role as Sustainability Ambassadors.

The project encouraged students to explore the future of sustainable design, considering ideas such as renewable energy, green spaces, eco-friendly materials and reducing waste. These are bug hotels to provide habitats and housing for insects around the school site.

Their hotels showcase imagination, teamwork and a strong commitment to protecting the environment. It has been fantastic to see our students developing innovative ideas that could help shape a more sustainable future!
