S3 Duke of Edinburgh – Tasks

All S3 students completing the Bronze DOFE Award should now have their edofe accounts setup.

 

Students should go to the edofe website and try logging in with their login details. More information regarding logging in can be found on the DOFE Google Classroom.

Here is a video to help you use the edofe app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D80IGvCwbhM

Once students are into the edofe website, they should complete all the details regarding their three sections: Skill, Physical and Volunteering.

I need to know what the goal/aim is for each section, who the assessor is and the assessor’s email address and phone number.
Once all of these details are entered, students should ‘Submit the Section for Approval.
Here is a video to help you fill in a section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c3pQgTtEFU
Deadline: Friday, 13th January 2023 to have all three sections submitted and approved. (If a section has not been started yet, can you let Mr Boag know).
Any problems with the above, students should message Mr Boag through the Google Classroom.

Duke of Edinburgh (S3 Students)

S3 students registering for DOFE.

Any S3 student still looking to register for Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award should see Mr Boag ASAP.

If you have already added your name to Mr Boag’s spreadsheet, then the next step is to pay £46 through Parent Pay. This should be setup in the next few days.
