Fifty-four receive Duke of Ed Awards

On May 22, Courtney Prieur, Selwyn House Director of Experiential Education, presented certificates to 54 Senior School students in recognition of their participation in the Duke Of Edinburgh’s Award program.
 
Recipients must complete three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level requires training, achievement, and recognition in the basics of good citizenship. Duke of Ed activities embrace a wide variety of interests, including physical activities, educational training, self-discipline, and service to the community—all designed to advance the physical, mental and spiritual welfare of young people.

• Community Service – Providing volunteer service to others and the community.
• Personal Skill Development – Developing a personal interest, social or practical skill.
