Duke of Edinburgh

 

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a voluntary program offered at KWS. The Duke of Edinburgh is a non-competitive self-development international program available to all young people which encourages them to set and achieve goals at a level appropriate to their needs and aspirations.

 

In 2020, as a Wellbeing initiative the Year 9 cohort are encouraged to complete the “Bronze level” of the Award. KWS will pay the $150 registration fee for each Year 9 student as KWS acknowledges the benefits to the individual and community of undertaking the Award. In accepting this offer participants will need to complete their Bronze award in 2020. If you are currently in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 and are thinking about completing the Bronze, Silver or Gold Award please come and see Mr Callaghan. “Duke drop in Fridays” are every Friday of the Term in Room 94 of the Anderson Centre at 100pm.
