Teachers take on Diamond Challenge
SCD teachers Mr Taylor and Mrs Kirby are hoping to inspire students to follow in their footsteps by taking on the Duke of Edinburgh’s Diamond Challenge this summer. The teachers, who have led hundreds of SCD students on Duke of Edinburgh expeditions over the years, will attempt to complete the Geocache Chiltern Hundred during the summer holidays. This is a series of just over a hundred geocaches set up in three loops through the Chiltern hills around Chesham. Starting at 5am one morning, they will try to complete the 23 miles in one day. As Mr Taylor says, “Some caches can be smaller than film canisters and can be hidden in cracks in walls or camouflaged in trees. Finding the treasure is usually the slowest, hardest part of it all.” Both members of staff are raising money via Just Giving pages, the links to which can be found below. They are trying to raise £60 each, as it is the 60th anniversary of Duke of Edinburgh and all the money raised will go to the Diamond Challenge fund, helping disadvantaged children.
We wish them every success!
