Duke of Edinburgh Awards
On February 8, Headmaster Downey and Ms. Segal presented certificates to five Senior School students recognizing their participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.
Recipients must complete three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level requires training and achievement and recognizes 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 young people's physical, mental and spiritual welfare.
To receive the award, participants must set goals in four program areas, which are:
- Voluntary Service: Providing volunteer service to others and the community
- Skill Development: Developing a personal interest, social or practical skill
- Physical Recreation: Gaining a sense of achievement and good health through physical fitness activities and sports
- Adventurous Journey: Undertaking a wilderness or adventure experience
- Gold Project: Undertaking a shared activity or specific course in an unfamiliar environment
The following students won the Bronze Award:
Matthew Dennis (Grade 10)
Anderson Ham (Grade 11)
Luca Kestenband (Grade 10)
Felix Sebag (Grade 11)
Grade 11 student, Yikai (Ken) Zhao was the only recipient to win the Silver award.
