In the presence of HRH Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, the 6 successful students celebrated this magnificent achievement in the Royal Gardens with other award winners from across the country and celebrity presenters. ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/132a.jpg) To achieve this award Callum, Tim, Flavia, Eniola, Nickerson and Elle had to complete activities in each of the 5 areas, including Volunteering, Skill and Physical sections over 12-18 months. They also had to complete a residential in new surroundings, working with people they did not know. Finally the group had to successfully canoe down the River Wye independently for 4 days last summer.
