The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Australia is the world’s leading youth development program, empowering young Australians aged 14-24 through physical activity, voluntary service, new life skills, and adventurous journeys.
At our College, students who choose to participate in Duke of Ed demonstrate self-direction and independence, managing and completing the Framework requirements in their own time. They receive support from a Duke of Ed Coordinator at the school. The Framework is first introduced to students in Year 9 at the Bronze Level, with opportunities to progress to Silver and Gold Levels if they wish. There are a number of activities suggested for students.
