tice, and then a Test Expedition. This yean, the school was able to run its own camp in .Tuny, spec- i{ically organized for training in expedition. n would especially like to thank Mr. Eell and Mr. and IMrs. trn V{arch, several of the girls attended a Bronze Training Camp at Samford organized by the Gold A^wardeeg Society (G.A.S.). Upon the completion of this training, the girls are ableto undertake a Frac- Johnston for their help and assistance concea-ning the expedition section of the Scheme. DUKE @F' EPEB{BEJRGFS,AW,AR.& SCE{EIVHE T-he year began nather well for the rnembers of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scherire within the sehool. Our numbers were boosted bv the entrance of many enthusiastic young Fourth tro'rmers into the Scheme. Also it was good to see some interest from the Fifth Forrners. Early in the year a Committee of Sixth Formers undergoing the Gold tr-evel of the Scherne was elected to assist IMrs. Torney, our organizer and co-ordinator of activities.

- The Design for T ,iving Section of the scherne pro- ceeded very well this year as again the girls were able to undertake sucir courses as "You and Your Friends" and "The Art of N{ake-up and Grooming" during thear Extension Education ,Activities (E.E.A.). Mrs. T'orney enabled these courses to run srnoothly by working iir co-operation with ttre E,.E.A. staff. Thank you Mrs. Torney. IVfrs. Chowdhury has beerr of great value to the girls regarding the Service Section of the Scheme. She kindly gave up much of her tirne to lecture on the value of Cornmunity Senvice to the girls who after the series of lectures, participated in such ser- vices as helping at the Children's hospitals, within the school library, lifesaving and first-aid. The interest section leaves everything ared any-. thing for the girls to pursue in their own time. Miss Cahill has been very active in giving the girls gui- dance where necessary. .[n these days of Wornen's l-lberation, the Award Scherne has also been forced to submit to the pres- sures of women's equality and a new syllabus has been adapted to comply with these pressures. -ilhe expedition section has become a little more demanding and reow giris have a choice between Design for Living or a Fhysical Activity. To cornplete the year, all of the girls involved in the Scheme are planning to attend a Fun Camp at Sarnford being organrzed by the Cornmittee with the help of sorne of the Fifth F'orrners. I would especiatrly like to thank lvnrs. Torney for all the advice, involvemeart and encouragemerit she has given to the glrls and the Scherne within tlie school.
