THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL AWARD

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award - Australia is an extra-curricular framework offered at St Scholastica's College to students in Year 9 or above. There are three levels offered - Bronze, Silver and Gold.

​

Participation in The Duke of Ed is entirely voluntary and requires a high level of student engagement, motivation and ownership. Whilst the Award Levels are structured to assist in the development of your daughter’s confidence, teamwork and leadership skills, students are responsible for designing, completing and documenting their own unique program.

​

The required elements of The Duke of Ed Award are;

• the completion of two overnight hiking journeys

• weekly participation, in a chosen Skill, Service and Physical Recreation component

• the completion of an individual 5-day residential journey at Gold

​

Duke of Ed challenges young people not only to complete the compulsory elements of the Framework but also challenges them to provide documentary evidence of their accomplishments.
