The weather made way for a fantastic journey with cool winds and lower temperatures. The students were aiming to make progress on their strong Khatim Desert practice journeys. All groups had clear journey purpose aims, ranging from ‘A DofE Instructional Video’ to ‘How to celebrate a birthday DofE style’. The journey purpose ensures groups have a goal to aim for whilst completing the expedition.
Students spend a portion of their journeying time completing their purpose and must present this upon the return to school. All groups demonstrated exceptional navigational and campcraft skills that ensured a very successful Adventurous Journey.
Navigational skills were put to the test at the start of day 2, when fog descended on the mountains. Students ensured that their navigational skills were correct to travel to the first check point, in which all students did with ease.
All BIS Abu Dhabi DofE and North Star staff were proud of the way that the students conducted themselves throughout the Adventurous Journey, showing a real care for the DofE ethos. Students must now concentrate on finishing their Physical Recreation, Skill and Voluntary Service elements of the Award. Well done Year 10!
