Silver Duke of Edinburgh Expedition 2025
Thirty adventurous pupils recently embarked on a Silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition around the stunning mountains near Lake Annecy. Over three days, they hiked, sweated, and soaked in the beautiful views.
Despite being late into September, the sun shone, turning the trek into an unexpected test of endurance and sunscreen application. At times, the heat was almost too much to bear, but spirits remained high and determination never wavered. Whether it was the blistered feet, the sunburned noses, or the endless uphill climbs, every single pupil gave it their all.
By the end, they’d conquered more than just the mountains; they’d triumphed over exhaustion, the demands of working in groups and the occasional snack shortage. Truly an expedition to remember!
