The Dyce Academy Silver DofE Group undertook their Qualifying Expedition over the weekend of 18-20 September. The 18 participants, all from S5, had a fantastic time (apart from the midges)! They explored, in good weather in the Central Highlands, walking through one of the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland between Dalwhinnie and Rannoch. Congratulations to all on a successful venture.

Bronze DofE Expedition – August 2015
Twenty nine S4 Pupils successfully completed their second Bronze DofE Award Expedition over the weekend. This was another overnight expedition lasting Saturday into Sunday and all participants acquitted themselves well. The weather was kind and the scenery of the Balmoral Estate stunning, especially with the heather in full bloom. Well done to all who took part.
