Another record set by Chengelo School students!

Last year they were the biggest The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award-Zambia Bronze group with over 65 participants. This year they broke another record — 55 students joined the Silver DofE adventurous journey, the largest we have ever had.

From day one, we challenged them not just to set trends with numbers, but with attitude and character. Over 3 days and 2 nights, they carried all their food and camping gear, covering more than 42 km. It was tough. Some wanted to give up, but every single one pushed through.

Well done for showing courage, resilience, and strong character. You discovered what you are truly made of. Evenings were full of energy, stories, and singing around the fire.

Keep pushing forward — we look forward to seeing you complete your Silver Award!

What a week!

We had an amazing four days with the Martin House Trust Grade 5s & 6s!

Our camp was all about teamwork, cooperation, bonding and resilience but more importantly, we wanted to explore how these things point us towards Jesus and how He uses them to shape who we are, not just on camp, but in our everyday lives.
These students brought energy, enthusiasm and plenty of fun! It was incredible to see the growth happening throughout the week as they learned to support one another, persevere through challenges and grow in godly character.

So many laughs, challenges, victories and moments of growth!

We loved having you with us, Martin House, what an incredible group!

Keep growing, keep encouraging one another, and keep looking to Jesus!

We had a group of Form 6 students from Chengelo School on their The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award-Zambia Gold practice journey. It was tough but amazing at Mulungushi Dam. The dam was full, giving us great views and seasonal waterfalls.

The students paddled over 36 km in strong winds and cold days. Even when it felt like they weren’t moving, they kept going with courage and resilience. At camp, they still had energy for stories and singing around the fire.

Well done for pushing hard! We look forward to the final journey with more views and more distance.

Identity is knowing who you truly are. The world may try to define you with labels, but in Christ your identity is secure. You are God’s masterpiece, created with purpose, more precious than gold, and called to shine His light.

Identity answers the deep questions: Who am I? What gives me meaning? For many young people, this is a struggle. Confidence and direction come when we discover our true identity, not in achievements or opinions, but in Christ.

With the THRIVE model, we believe identity is rooted in knowing Jesus. He reveals our worth, our belonging, and our calling. Through outdoor experiences, reflection, and scripture, we guide students to see themselves as God sees them, chosen, loved, and equipped for good works.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us: “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

During our camp at Ashford Academy, students encountered this truth in powerful ways. By the final day, many expressed a new appreciation for who God is and who they are in Him. Identity is not an accident, it is a gift, a calling, and a journey of alignment with Christ.

Last week we had an incredible time with the Chengelo Grade 4s!

Our camp theme was "Sharing Our Space," exploring how we care for the environment, build meaningful relationships with one another, and, most importantly, grow in our relationship with God, the One who is at the centre of it all.
It was such a joy to watch these young people embrace God's creation through adventure, friendship, learning, fun, and challenge. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and willingness to learn made the week truly special.

What an amazing group of young people!
We can't wait to see where God leads them next.

Mt Discovery Rock Climbing Adventure

Our climbing spot overlooking the Munshibemba forest is quickly becoming a favorite. The short hike was steeper than expected, and the climbs more challenging than they looked. Mopane flies and curious bees added to the fun, while we could see the DofE Bronze students at their campsite nearby.

Well done to the Chengelo students for showing courage and a strong spirit of adventure at a young age. Here’s to more journeys as we explore the amazing places God has blessed us with.

Last weekend 68 Form 3 Chengelo School students embarked on their The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award-Zambia Bronze Qualifier Adventurous Journey under the supervision of the Ndubaluba team.

Ten teams spent Friday preparing and planning for their expedition. Map work, route cards, equipment, menus, first aid and group goals were gone through in detail so each person knew their role and responsibilities.

Over the weekend the Ndubs team put the logistics in place manning transition points, checkpoints and the over night camp at the head of the Munshibemba valley.

The students did exceptionally well over the twenty plus kilometre route, navigating, cooking, camping and looking out for each other. They were enthusiastic and committed to accomplishing this section of their Award.

The weekend finished with the teams presenting the projects they had worked on during their journey.

Well done Form 3’s on such a great turnout for the Bronze Award. We’re looking forward to seeing each of you finishing your skills, service and physical recreation sections over the next few months and coming up for your Award at the Chengelo end of year prize giving.

What an incredible few days with Woodford!

From conquering the climbing tower and paddling across the water in kayaks to mastering fire lighting, solving scavenger hunts, exploring expressive arts, and so much more, every activity was filled with adventure, laughter, and opportunities to learn.

Beyond the fun, students strengthened essential survival and outdoor living skills, built confidence, developed resilience, improved communication and teamwork, and discovered the value of perseverance. Watching them step outside their comfort zones, support one another, and embrace every challenge was truly rewarding.

Thank you, Woodford, for bringing your enthusiasm, curiosity, and adventurous spirit. It was a privilege to share this experience with you.

A huge well done to the Rhodes Park Scouts for their courage, determination, and team spirit throughout last week's.

From conquering the kayaking course and pushing themselves on the climbing wall to learning essential survival skills, every challenge was met with enthusiasm and resilience.

The week ended on a high with an exciting Amazing Race, where teams competed, solved challenges, encouraged one another, and, most importantly, had an unforgettable time together.

It was inspiring to watch each scout step outside their comfort zone, build confidence, and discover that growth happens through challenge. Here's to more adventures, more learning, and many more memories to come. Keep exploring, keep growing, and keep being brave!
