ISN Students Complete Their Duke of Edinburgh Assessed Journey with Resilience, Teamwork, and Outdoor Skills

Our learning partners had worked hard during the previous months to learn lots of new skills to many of them. Navigation, use of a compass, identifying bearings and pacing out distances between checkpoints, basic campcraft, first aid and so on and at last, the time was here to assess the team on how they could navigate their way through a series of predesignated checkpoints successfully and to survive a night in an unknown campsite.

With Kjersten and Arvid watching and giving occasional tips, the team set off. Despite a few small mistakes (and chilly temperatures!), they corrected course, set up a solid camp and kept morale high. Special shoutout to Luis and Nicolas for getting the fire going!

Tired but determined, the group hit all the checkpoints the next morning and made it safely back to school - a fantastic team effort from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Arvid and Kjersten for their support and guidance. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Well done, guys! We are very proud of each and every one of you!
