The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a series of awards that encourage and recognise the growth of young people, believing that when young people are provided with the right support and opportunities, they can achieve amazing outcomes for themselves and their community.

The Duke of Edinburgh can be achieved at a bronze, silver and gold level. Students nominate areas of their lives that they would like to improve, including actively giving their time to volunteer service.

Congratulations to Zachary, who has been awarded a bronze-level Duke of Edinburgh award. Zach targeted his long-distance running abilities, set himself a target of 80% in math extension, and volunteered many hours as a timekeeper and course checker for Park Run activities. He also completed the adventurous journey component during one of our Cadet camps. He has now begun his silver medallion, pushing his physical activities another level higher, aiming for a specific ELO chess rating and volunteering as a Cadet leader. Well done Zach!
