Normally at this time of year students entering S3 would receive a presentation on undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh (DOFE) Bronze Award.
If any (new) S3 students are interested in undertaking the DOFE Bronze Award over the next year, then please watch the following videos to get an idea of what is involved.
If you decide that DOFE is for you, then you can get started over the summer holidays. You need to undertake some physical activity, learn a new skill, and complete some volunteering – each for an hour per week.
I would urge students who start any of these DOFE sections over the summer to complete a weekly record (on paper or on their phone). Students would need to have a note of the date of their activity, the section they were undertaking, the time spent completing the activity, and a short description of what was achieved. Students are also required to take periodic photographs of their involvement in each section (a minimum of 4 photographs is required per section).
Eventually, after the holiday, students will require to register for DOFE officially, pay a registration fee (£22 approximately), and then upload all evidence onto the DOFE system.
Please note: there are no requirements for students to start any of the three DOFE sections over the summer. Given current restrictions, students may find themselves with a little more time and feel this can be best used getting ahead with their DOFE Award.
Final point: DOFE Scotland has recently changed some of there rules to make completing DOFE that little bit easier.
They have issued the following advice about completing a DOFE Award during the coronavirus outbreak and continuing with DOFE.
If students have any questions regarding DOFE, then get in touch with Mr Boag through your S3 Year Group Google Classroom.
