Duke of Edingurgh Award Scheme

The Duke of Edinburgh award has formed a successful and valuable element of the extra-curricular activities on offer at the College for many years. Pupils undertake the four key areas of skill, service, physical recreation and expedition to complete the award at Bronze level. Pupils in Year 10 enroll and are encouraged to complete all areas by the end of Year 11. There is the opportunity for those interested to embark on the Silver award. The expedition is always an enjoyable aspect with pupils completing a twenty-two kilometre walk over two days, carrying all their camping equipment and food, usually in inclement weather. It is certainly a character-building experience!
