Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an international programme that aims to encourage personal growth in young people by encountering new and enriching experiences.
It has three levels:
  • Bronze (14+yrs)
  • Silver (15+yrs)
  • Gold (16+yrs)
These involve an increasing amount of personal commitment. However, you do not have to be a superstar to succeed, even in the Gold!

Each level of the Award involves four areas:
  • Skills - developing the creative side
  • Service - contributing to the community
  • Physical recreation - making progress in a physical activity
  • Expeditions - journeys through the Australian bush.
Many activities that students already do can be counted towards the Award.
Doing your best and expanding your horizons at your own pace are what it's all about.
The award is a valuable addition to your CV, is extremely satisfying - and great fun!

Killarney Heights High School is a registered operator and provides experienced supervision, training and advice. For further information regarding the Award please talk with the staff involved or have a chat with one of the many students who have already grown through participation with "The Duke's".
