Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a non-competitive, flexible program that involves students designing unique, individualised programs to explore their potential socially, physically and emotionally. Students aged 14 years and older complete a set number of hours in the areas of skill development, physical recreation, community service and adventurous journey. The boys are able to achieve either a Bronze, Silver or Gold award.
Students are assessed on effort, progress, perseverance and commitment with an emphasis on personal growth and independence.
