The EGS Garden Club have been really lucky to have forged links with the charity School Food Matters. Their support with the Know Your Onions Project has been amazing, offering wonderful opportunities and hands-on learning for our students. In Spring we were visited by a Horticulturist, Emma, who spent the morning with us showing us how to plant out vegetables, different types of seeds and crops, what is good to grow and much more. We were lucky to have a sunny day for the visit!
Wishing all our boys (Y7 through to Y10) taking part in the Enfield Schools Athletics championship Finals at Lee Valley Athletics Centre today, the best of luck – Go EGS!
This was the final section of the DofE Bronze Award that our Year 10s have been participating in since last October.
Several months of volunteering, learning a new skill and taking on a physical activity, combined with preparation sessions in school on navigating, map reading, first aid, outdoor cooking, how to pack a rucksack and 3 practice hikes all led to the final challenge of the expedition.
We are delighted to say that all our boys passed this section!
Having not run the DofE programme in EGS for several years, it has been wonderful to get it up and running again, giving our boys the opportunity of challenging themselves, learning to work as a team and getting a huge sense of achievement.

Our Year 10 boys have been learning new skills over the last few months; camping, outdoor cooking, map reading, practice hikes and completing each of the required DofE sections, volunteering, Physical and Skills.
This has all led up to the final part of the award: The Expedition, hiking to their overnight camp and then back again tomorrow.
We are lucky to have such a nice day to set them off on their hikes and wish them all the best. This is a test of endurance, independence, teamwork and a chance to have fun, make great memories and come out with a sense of achievement.
Good Luck Boys!
