Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Certificates Awarded
Mr Taylor and Mrs Kirby were proud today to be able to present Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh participants with their Bronze certificates. Of the 88 students who went on the final expedition, all have completed their award. The 14 Silver Award students participating in the Silver Award all completed their expedition and are awaiting their certificates. The students have put in in excess of 56 hours over the three areas of Volunteering, Physical and Skills and two 2 day expeditions at Bronze and 65 hours of Volunteering, Physical and Skills as well as two 3 day expeditions at Silver.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a sought-after qualification which looks good on any application form and allows students to stand out from others. It gives the students a chance to show their skills in a variety of different settings. We are pleased to announce that St Clement Danes will be offering all three level of the award (Bronze, Silver and Gold) this year.
Students who wish to sign up for Silver need to be in Year 10 or 11 and in Year 12 for Gold. Year 9 parents will receive information about the Bronze award in due course.
