Since 2020, our school has been a proud Award Center for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, offering students the chance to engage in this internationally recognized youth development programme. Many of our students have successfully completed their Bronze Award, making remarkable steps in the programme’s three core sections: Physical Activity, Skills, and Volunteering.

​

Through the Skills section, our students pursued personal growth by developing a wide range of new abilities. Whether it was cooking, baking, knitting, or learning to play new musical instruments, they explored interests that built confidence and helped them explore new areas of development. The Physical Activity section saw students commit to various fitness goals, with activities ranging from boxing and yoga training to high intensity and endurance workouts that improved their overall health and well-being.

​

Volunteering has been equally impactful. Our students have made significant contributions to their communities in meaningful ways. Some created auditory storytelling content for the visually impaired, while others provided emotional support to children battling cancer. Many also helped younger students with tutoring, showcasing the value of mentorship and community service.

A key highlight of the programme is the Adventurous Journey, where students embark on a team-based expedition that challenges them to develop leadership, problem-solving, and outdoor survival skills. This journey encourages resilience, cooperation, and adaptability—essential traits for their future.

​

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is highly regarded by universities and employers worldwide. Participation in the programme demonstrates commitment, initiative, and a wide range of personal and interpersonal skills, making our students stand out in university admissions and future job opportunities. It reflects their ability to set and achieve goals, work within teams, and take on leadership roles, all qualities that are invaluable in academic and professional settings.
