2009 will see over 150 students from across the College take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Students nominate goals and challenges in four areas: Sport, Skill, Community Service and Adventurous Journeys and document their regular participation in these chosen areas over a period of three to six months.

 

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is about setting goals. These goals are realised with persistence, determination and resilience and will see the student become better prepared for life’s challenges in the future.


The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is coordinated by the College Administration Centre, Coordinator, Mr Hugh Wood.
