Congratulations to the boys for achieving their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Pleasingly, two 2015 leavers, Tim Andrew and Graeme Stewart, will achieve their Gold Awards to be presented at Government House later in the year.
A couple of important points to keep in mind if you are considering the Duke of Edinburgh Award
1 The Award has stood the test of time. It has been running since 1956. It has great name recognition and prospective universities and employers will always recognise it and its prestige.
2 The Award is recognised at a truly global level. It is organised and awarded in 144 of 196 countries.
See Mr Kyle if you would like to get involved.
