Duke of Edinburgh’s Award – Silver Level Qualifying Journey
Over the course of three days, our Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award participants successfully completed their expedition in nature. On the first day, they hiked 5 km along the Yashil Gol area near Shamakhi, ending the day with an overnight stay in Galaderesi village. The second day proved to be one of the most challenging, but our students persevered. On the second and final day, they completed a 12 km hike through Avakhil village, where they spent their final night. Overall, our students demonstrated resilience and teamwork, meeting all the requirements for the Silver level and completing this stage successfully. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Jamil, Ms. Khanimana, Ms. Irada, Security Officer Safaraly, and Emil (transport) for organizing and supporting this expedition.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award – Bronze Level Qualifying Journey
Our Duke of Edinburgh Award program participants successfully completed their Bronze Level Qualifying Journey in the picturesque village of Sim, Astara. Surrounded by lush green mountains and fresh, clean air, the students experienced nature at its finest. Over the course of two days, the students hiked for more than seven hours through forests, reaching both a beautiful waterfall and the heart of Sim village. During their stay, they prepared their own meals and immersed themselves fully in the natural environment. This was the second Bronze Level trip for our students since joining the DofE program. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Khanimana (DofE Assessor) and Mr. Jamil (DofE Award Leader) for organizing and leading this enriching experience.

DOFE Astara Trip, May 2024
During this academic year, our students did several works within the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) project, which our school joined. As the final work of DofE, the most memorable and interesting DofE Expedition project was for our students. According to the project, our students had to face the nature and find a way out of the difficulties, work with a map in the forest, reach the final destination with the support of others, provide food with the food they brought with them, and spend the night in a tent. As if nature also increased the difficulties of our students by making that day rainy. Our students successfully completed the tasks given in two days and successfully completed the first Bronze level of the DofE project, which is a life lesson that will never be forgotten for them. They can start preparing for the Silver level of this project next year.

DOFE Novkhani Trip, April 2024
During this academic year, our students participated in various activities as part of the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award, which our school recently joined. One of the most meaningful and challenging experiences was the DofE Expedition, held in April in Novkhani.
For this expedition, students took on an environmental mission: cleaning up sea pollution along the coastline. Working in teams, they navigated the area, collected waste, and contributed to preserving the natural beauty of the Caspian Sea. They also demonstrated self-sufficiency by preparing their own meals with the food they brought and spending the night in tents by the shore.
Nature added its own challenge with rainy weather, but our students pushed through with resilience and teamwork.
