During Term 4, Year 9 students completing the Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award Course, ventured to the Gold Coast Hinterland to participate in The Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award: Adventurous Journey Weekend Course.

In partnership with PCYC Gold Coast, the Duke Of Edinburgh: Adventurous Journey is designed to challenge and provide students with a sense of achievement across various weekend activities at outdoor locations.

Organisers from PCYC Gold Coast mentored and instructed students as they assessed their ability to work as a team, take responsibility and make decisions for themselves.
