SERVICE LEARNING

Duke of Edinburgh International Award

The Duke of Edinburgh International Award challenges young people to achieve new skills and experience adventure. Students choose from a wide range of activities which suit their particular interests and abilities.

There are three award levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Within each level, students must select and undertake activities that fit the purpose of each of all the four sections of the award i.e Adventurous Journey, Skill, Service and Physical Recreation.

Students are responsible for organising the Skill, Service and Physical Recreation components of their Award. The Adventurous Journeys i.e expeditions, will be organised through PLC Sydney.

The award is fun, the activities you chose reflect your interests and passions, so enjoy the challenge!
