"As a team, we grew to know each other very well. As a whole, we learned various techniques and ideas, as well as learning different people’s personalities. It was a very lovely experience that is worth taking and creates memories you will never forget." Beatriz Ferreira Form 10
"Its a programme that allows students to step out of their confort zone and try new things" Helena Campos Form 9
"It offers a range of skills to us. We learn things that you don't get taught in lessons. Things like how to orientate around landscapes using maps and grid points. It is an excellent experience that benefits us in various ways" Filipa Santos Form 10

Practice expedition
Duke of Edinburgh is an activity where you are put into groups. You are then given a place to get to and given a map and a few essential tools such as a compass and cooking essentials for when you get to you're camp. Before setting off we were told to plan a route on the map and this was checked by the teachers. We started off our journey in Mindelo’s metro station.
On the first day we walked a lot, and it was raining. Howeverl as team we never gave up and we always maintained a positive attitude even when we would get lost. At the camp we had to cook, it was a wonderful experience and we felt really independent. Next day we walked to Mindelo’s metro station and went home.
I really enjoyed walking in Mindelo and camping, although it was rough it was one of the best trips. We were able to become more united, to work as a team and to develop various skills.
