1  May 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 9 2026 Duke of Edinburgh Program
Parent Information Night

Thank you for completing the initial Expression of Interest form for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Program. We are pleased to share that we have received interest from a large number of families in the Year 9 cohort. 

We kindly invite you to an information evening about the Duke of Edinburgh Award Program for our Year 9 students. This meeting will be held on Tuesday 26 May (Week 6) in the Montagne Centre from 6:00pm to 7:00pm – please enter via Gate 5, Terry Road.

The purpose of the evening is to provide families with an overview of the Duke of Education Bronze Award program, including:

  • What the program involves 
  • The skills, service and physical activity components
  • The Adventurous Journey requirements
  • The benefits for students’ personal development and leadership
  • The costs involved and what these cover
  • Key dates, expectations and next steps

There will also be an opportunity for parents and students to ask questions about the program.

Parents and carers are warmly invited to attend and we encourage you to bring your son so he can hear the information firsthand and begin thinking about if he would like to participate.

We look forward to seeing you there and supporting our Year 9 students as they take on this exciting opportunity.

Kind Regards,

Mr David Sullivan           Miss Katie Stern                                    Mrs Sarah Davis
