沿途的風(fēng)景固然美不勝收，但是探險(xiǎn)才剛剛拉開(kāi)序幕。
同學(xué)們需要穿過(guò)熱帶原始森林，爬上垂直75度的野山道，背著厚重的旅行包與惡劣天氣作戰(zhàn)，與不知名的野生動(dòng)物擦肩而過(guò)……最終順利到達(dá)目的營(yíng)地，挑戰(zhàn)才算完成。
Nineteen, Harrow Haikou, Upper School pupils stepped out of the classroom this December. With heavy bags on their backs, they embarked on an adventurous journey under the framework of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award (DofE).
The destination for this qualifying trip was chosen to be the Ledong Jianfengling National Forest Park in Hainan, which, at an altitude of 1,412 metres, is one of the largest and best-preserved tropical primaeval forests in China, and the habitat of a large number of rare wildlife.

15 – 18 December 2023
The scenery along the way was breathtaking, but the adventure had just begun.
The pupils needed to walk through tropical forests, climb 75-degree vertical mountain passes, overcome the bad weather with heavy backpacks, and live with unknown wildlife. And their challenge will not be complete until they reach their pre-planned destination.

About DofE
愛(ài)丁堡公爵國(guó)際獎(jiǎng)由英國(guó)菲利普親王愛(ài)丁堡公爵與德國(guó)教育局庫(kù)爾特·哈恩（Kurt Hahn）共同發(fā)起，助力年輕人突破自我，不斷挑戰(zhàn)個(gè)人極限，提升內(nèi)驅(qū)力，實(shí)現(xiàn)自我發(fā)展。愛(ài)獎(jiǎng)面向所有13-24歲的年輕人，在全球140多個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)助力青少年成長(zhǎng)。
獲得愛(ài)丁堡公爵獎(jiǎng)的年輕人，在教育申請(qǐng)、職位申請(qǐng)上都會(huì)被優(yōu)先考慮。因?yàn)楂@得這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)的人，都被認(rèn)為具備了服務(wù)社會(huì)，承擔(dān)責(zé)任，勇于挑戰(zhàn)自我的潛能。
愛(ài)獎(jiǎng)對(duì)學(xué)生的考察是多維度且全面的，包括了志愿服務(wù)、體育鍛煉、技能學(xué)習(xí)、戶外探索和團(tuán)體生活五大科目，而此次挑戰(zhàn)則屬于愛(ài)獎(jiǎng)中的戶外探索科目。
戶外探索項(xiàng)目，
團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作的極限挑戰(zhàn)
愛(ài)獎(jiǎng)所有的戶外探索旅程都必須包含兩個(gè)要素：旅程和一個(gè)明確的團(tuán)隊(duì)目標(biāo)。這個(gè)科目的目的是為參與者提供機(jī)會(huì)了解戶外環(huán)境，提高自信心，增強(qiáng)團(tuán)隊(duì)合作能力及增強(qiáng)體質(zhì)。參與者需要在確保環(huán)境及設(shè)備安全，并通過(guò)合適的培訓(xùn)及監(jiān)督的情況下，走出自己的舒適圈，完成旅程。
N個(gè)第一次，
愛(ài)獎(jiǎng)是一次全新的人生體驗(yàn)
19位來(lái)自高年級(jí)的哈羅學(xué)子參加了這次戶外探險(xiǎn)練習(xí)賽。
在準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)山的前一天，同學(xué)們?cè)诤┞端蓿黄饘W(xué)習(xí)了看地圖、指南針、搭帳篷、打火等一系列野外生存技能。并和朝夕相處的好朋友們度過(guò)了一個(gè)有夕陽(yáng)相伴的傍晚。此時(shí)他們從未想到第二天的挑戰(zhàn)如此巨大！回來(lái)后許多同學(xué)都說(shuō)：
去之前從沒(méi)想過(guò)這么難！第一次體驗(yàn)這么艱苦的條件。
此外，同學(xué)們提前準(zhǔn)備好自己三天兩夜行程中的所有裝備，大到帳篷，睡袋，食物原料，炊具等物品，小到水杯，打火機(jī)，垃圾袋等各種生活用品都得隨身背負(fù)；
另外，同學(xué)們每天得在戶外生火做飯；無(wú)論戶外天氣如何，同學(xué)們都要在戶外帳篷里過(guò)夜。
更艱難得挑戰(zhàn)是登山途中的惡劣天氣，在登山過(guò)程中，同學(xué)們已經(jīng)被濕熱的雨林環(huán)境消耗了大部分精力，行至半山腰，山里突然下起雨來(lái)，雨水沖刷的陡峭地勢(shì)增加了學(xué)生們行進(jìn)的難度。好幾個(gè)同學(xué)摔倒在泥濘里又互相扶持著爬起來(lái)，繼續(xù)攀登。
對(duì)于哈羅?？诟吣昙?jí)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，他們經(jīng)歷了人生中N個(gè)第一次：
第一次在雷雨天的帳篷里度過(guò)難忘的晚上；
第一次聽(tīng)著公雞打鳴的聲音在清晨醒來(lái)；
第一次在濕熱與雨水交加的海南冬季一天重負(fù)徒步攀爬海拔1400米的高山，累到懷疑人生；
第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)近在眼前的山頂，爬起來(lái)卻宛如遠(yuǎn)在天邊；
......
但這也是一次極好的成長(zhǎng)機(jī)會(huì)，是一個(gè)讓更多學(xué)生除了在學(xué)業(yè)上發(fā)光發(fā)熱，也能在其他方面去發(fā)揮自己的潛能和特長(zhǎng)，鍛煉毅力和韌性，同時(shí)在活動(dòng)中收獲樂(lè)趣和友誼，并且提早地接觸社會(huì)從而在未來(lái)能更好地適應(yīng)和應(yīng)對(duì)生活的平臺(tái)。

I look forward to joining everyone on the team to help support the delivery of the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh International Award. This award offers real values and opportunities to students to develop skills and experiences that have the power to be truly transformative. Helping to build transferable skills that last a lifetime. Targets are set by students, and are directly relevant to their own interests and goals. These can be as diverse as learning the saxophone or how to sail a boat, to volunteering at the library. Through reflecting and building on their progress they will gain a qualification that makes them stand out as adaptable and responsible global citizens, ready to take on the challenges of adult life. On the recent adventurous jourmey student faced and overcame a number of challenges to climb up to the top of a mountain. They developed strong teamworking skills and a sense of individual responsibility, to reach their goal.

對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)最大的挑戰(zhàn)是在保護(hù)身體的前提下去活動(dòng)。我的膝蓋有問(wèn)題，但我還是鼓起勇氣參加了這次準(zhǔn)備賽，我學(xué)到了很多戶外生存技能，學(xué)會(huì)如何在惡劣的情況下團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作，這是一次對(duì)我身體和心理的雙重挑戰(zhàn)。從含金量來(lái)說(shuō)這是英國(guó)官方設(shè)置的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，對(duì)于英聯(lián)邦國(guó)家大學(xué)申請(qǐng)認(rèn)可度很高。也能讓我們保持運(yùn)動(dòng)，學(xué)習(xí)一技之長(zhǎng)，保持興趣和探索，我相信我們從中收獲的品質(zhì)可以在今后的大學(xué)生活讓我們持續(xù)受益。

In 2023, Harrow Haikou was officially licensed by the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, an international award for youth achievement, and officially became one of the award's independent operating centres in China.
What is the DofE?
The DofE was designed to challenge and supports the development of young people between the ages of 13-24 in more than 140 countries and regions around the world.
Young people who complete the DofE programme are given preference in university applications and job applications. This is because those who receive this award are recognised as having the potential to serve the community, take responsibility and challenge themselves.
Expedition project
The ultimate challenge of teamwork
All DofE expeditions must have a planned activity and a clearly defined team goal. The objective of this section is to provide participants with the opportunity to learn about the outdoor environment, improve self-confidence, enhance teamwork and strengthen physical fitness. Participants are required to step out of their comfort zone and complete the journey with appropriate training and supervision while ensuring the safety of the environment and equipment.
A brand-new life experience
with DofE
Nineteen Harrow pupils from the Upper School took part in this expedition practice session.
The day before they prepared to go into the mountains, they camped out on the beach and together they learnt a range of wilderness survival skills such as reading a map, using a compass, pitching a tent, and lighting a fire. Accompanied by the beautiful sunset, they never imagined then that the next day's journey would be so challenging! Upon returning to school, many pupils said,
I never thought it would be this hard, before! It’s my first time to manage to live in such tough conditions.
Firstly, they needed to find each rest stop by looking at a map, using a compass, and following a pre-planned route for the trip without a mobile phone or GPS.
In addition, all our pupils prepared in advance all their essentials for the three-day and two-night journey, including tents, sleeping bags, food, cooking utensils, water cups, lighters, rubbish bags, and other daily necessities.
They were required to build fires for cooking and spend the night in outdoor tents, regardless of the weather.
The tougher challenge was to face the bad weather on the way up. In the process of climbing, the pupils had already consumed most of their energy by the hot and humid environment of the rainforest. The sudden rain washed away the steep mountains, which made it more difficult for the pupils to walk. But the children always held each other up and continued to climb.
For the Upper School pupils at Harrow Haikou, they experienced many firsts in their lives:
For the first time, they spent an unforgettable night in a tent during a thunderstorm;
For the first time;, they woke up early in the morning listening to the roosters crowing;
For the first time, they were so exhausted from hiking up a 1,400-metre-high mountain in the winter of Hainan, etc.
However, it is also an exciting opportunity for more pupils to develop their potential and strengths in other areas apart from their academics, to exercise their perseverance and resilience, to have fun and make friends, and to get in touch with society at an early stage so that they can better adapt to and cope with challenges in the future.
When applying to overseas universities, the experience of participating in the DofE programme can also add value to the personal statement, as the applicant's perseverance, courage, and commitment and ability to serve the community can be fully demonstrated through this programme.

Through this challenge, I saw that different groups presented different spirits. Their clear division of labour, teamwork, support and understanding of each other in a harsh environment showed us their best.
學(xué)生分享 Students' Thoughts
Y12 Audrey Gao：
The biggest challenge for me was to participate in the event while protecting my body. I have knee problems, but I plucked up the courage to take part in the event. I learnt a lot of outdoor survival skills and how to work as a team in tough situations. It, it was a challenge for me both physically and mentally. In addition, this programme is an official UK award and is highly recognised by universities in Commonwealth countries when applying for university. It also allows us to stay active, learn a skill and stay passionate about exploring. I believe the qualities we gain from DofE can continue to benefit us in our future university life.
Y12 Christy Yang：
We learnt the skills of outdoor camping and made sufficient preparation. However, our practical experience was still insufficient and we went in the wrong direction in the middle of the journey because we didn't understand the map. I hope we can do better next time. In addition, this hiking exercised our spirit of endurance. We persevered in the face of difficulties, and our teammates always supported each other.
Y12 Emma Deng：
Communication skills and cooperation were very much tested throughout the journey. Each member of our team had different roles, including guide, team leader, health carer, timekeeper, record keeper and photographer. The biggest challenge was that it rained halfway up our climb. We couldn't find the way while carrying sleeping bags and tents, so as a team leader, I was discouraged. Then, I assigned different jobs to the team members to overcome this challenge. At that time, I felt that the bag on my back got heavier and heavier, but it was memorable.
Y10 Rebecca Cheng：
The biggest benefit for me was probably the fact that I was more patient than I had ever been before, and with those who were falling behind I would help them to keep up with the others. I feel like I've become more enduring because I never thought I could walk that long of a mountain trail. This has helped me grow. Even though I'm only in Year 10 now, I want to be able to gain experience in outdoor challenges sooner to prepare me for more challenges in the future.
Y9 Jason Zhai：
I love outdoor sports. I have participated in sailing competitions before, which test the ability to adapt to changes, but mountain hiking is more of an endurance test. But these are very good opportunities to train myself. Apart from learning skills and developing leadership skills, the most important experience I had on this journey was learning to care about everyone in the team. You can't just go by yourself on a journey; one person may be able to go fast, but a group of people can go further
Y12 Gina Wu：
Finding a solution through communication was the most important lesson I learned on this hike. How do we distribute our kits when we disagree on routes during a journey? And how to distribute it fairly? This was the biggest problem we encountered. Of course, everyone wants to be comfortable, but it's simply not possible. I think outdoor challenges not only test physical ability and endurance but also communication skills, allowing us to step out of our comfort zone in all aspects.
Nineteen Harrow Haikou Upper School pupils took part in the challenge after a stressful period of study, allowing themselves to fully practice and improve in all aspects of their abilities, as well as adding great experience to their university application resumes. The extraordinary determination and resilience they showed in the DofE expedition challenge is worthy of the Harrow Haikou community's pride.
