Duke of Edinburgh Award Adventurous Journey

On Monday, students embarking on their Duke of Edinburgh Award journey set off on their Adventurous Journey. They are making the most of the Sunshine Coast's beautiful weather, hiking an average of 20 km per day along the Cooloola Great Walk. This challenge is all about venturing into unfamiliar and demanding environments, working as a team towards a common goal. Year 11 students, Kya and Tristan, are striving to achieve their Gold Award, while Elena and Ashlee are working towards their Silver Award.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an internationally recognised program for young people aged 14-25. It encourages participation in various activities and community service. At Pacific Lutheran College, students in Years 9-12 have the opportunity to work towards their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award, with each level requiring increasing time, service, and dedication. For more information, interested students are encouraged to see Mr. Paul Brace.
