Gold Awards for OKS students
Three OKS were invited to Buckingham Palace yesterday to receive their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Certificates from Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex. As the school holds its own licence Mike Turner was invited to attend and Marshall for the ceremony as a Duke of Edinburgh Leader. Those receiving their awards showed much diversity in the routes they took to complete their expeditions and sections and have enjoyed experiences in Scotland, the Lakes, Wales and some further afield. They are a credit to the school and this prestigious event will remain in their memories as much as the slog that they encountered on their long expeditions.
