Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award Reception

Three Year 12 students were invited to attend a reception for Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award achievers hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales, at Government House at the beginning of this Term.

Gus M, Nicholas C and Daniel B completed their Gold award during the first half of the year, and their achievements were recognised in this event. Along with 130 other students in Year 12 or who had recently completed high school, they were acknowledged for reaching the pinnacle of this award, demonstrating confidence, courage, determination, resourcefulness and adaptability.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award shows ability to lead, to work effectively as a team member, to solve problems and overcome obstacles, and to be creative and critical in thinking and planning.

“Completing the Gold Level Duke of Ed’ challenged me physically and mentally, built my resilience, leadership and teamwork skills, and gave me unforgettable experiences that shaped my confidence, independence and sense of purpose.”
