Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards for Emily and Chris

Hard work, resilience and determination has paid off for former students Emily and Chris as they were awarded their Gold Duke of Edinburgh awards at Buckingham Palace recently in a sun-drenched Garden Party.

Open to young people aged 16 to 25, participants design their own personal development programs by committing to five challenging sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills, an Expedition, and a Residential. There are three levels of achievement: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
