Langdon students ride towards Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Bronze
Students from Langdon College are learning horse riding skills as part of their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Physical Section, through the Jewish Lads’ & girls’ Brigade (JLGB).
The challenge of horse riding gives the students the opportunity to develop self confidence, balance and an all round improvement in individual physical well-being.
The students will be riding for 3 months and are also preparing for their Expedition in June in Kepplewray, Broughton in Furness, after which they will receive the full Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
They have already completed their Skills Section, a project about the History and Heritage of Manchester and are completing their Volunteering raising funds for Manchester Children’s Hospital, part of which was a Cake Sale in King
David High School. Rodney Ross, from the JLGB who is helping Langdon College with the Award, said: “For Langdon students to do so well in the Award is incredible and I am proud to help them achieve their success.” The Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade is the only exclusive Jewish Operating Authority in the UK for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
