Happy faces at ‘CleanUpHatfield’ event!

On Monday the 30th September 2019, our Save the World Club took part in the CleanUpHatfield event. Students from years 7-11 got involved as we wanted to help clean up the environment and make our local area look nicer. We went outside after school with litter pickers and gloves to clean up litter from Woods Avenue. You wouldn’t believe how much there was! We did this for an hour and in the end we collected three bags full of rubbish, including a Nike slider, beer cans and lots of crisp and sweet wrappers! It’s important to go litter picking to help our area become cleaner and to also help the environment because animals eat the rubbish that we discard on the floor.

Teamwork shines through on the DofE Bronze Expedition

Following many months of training, planning and preparation, fifty girls from Year 10 set out to navigate their way around the beautiful sunny Hertfordshire countryside on their Bronze expedition. Groups were supported by staff and volunteers, who ensured that they set off properly equipped and ready for the challenge. Each group walked a total of 30km carrying all of their kit over the course of the weekend; camping overnight, pitching their tents, cooking their planned meals on Trangia stoves and listening to the sounds of Muntjac deer, owls and foxes in the night. An evening campfire was enjoyed by all, and spirits remained high despite some rain on Sunday morning. All groups demonstrated great determination, supporting each other and working together to achieve the expedition section. This, combined with their successes at volunteering, physical activity ad developing skills, means that the girls have successfully achieved their Bronze Award. Huge congratulations to all!
