Duke of Edinburgh International Award

Duke of Edinburgh is offered at Trinity Catholic College to students over the age of 14 (Year 9). The Award is a self-development program available to all young people. The Award is non-competitive and encourages young people to set and achieve goals at a level appropriate to their needs and aspirations.

This international award program has a focus on the development of personal skills, knowledge, and character, as well as challenging students to set and meet goals while forging qualities of strength, resolve and commitment. The program is run in over 140 countries and is available at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. Each level has four sections for students to complete, including; Skill, Service, Physical Recreation and Adventurous journeys. Additionally, the Gold has a fifth section of a residential project.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is entirely voluntary and is structured so that the participants can design their own unique program centred on their interests and passions.

It is an exciting self-development program available to young people, equipping them with life skills to make a difference to themselves, their community and the world.
