Register for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award now!

Would you like to work towards an internationally recognised award?  You could be volunteering within the community, developing new or existing skills and going out on expedition as part of the award.  If this sounds like the sort of thing you’d get involved with then sign up for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

If you’re in S3 – S6 then you can sign up to undertake either the Bronze or Silver, depending on your age, award within the school.  Speak to members of the staff team – Mr McNicol or Mrs Kidson – if you’d like further information.  Alternatively, you can view the participant information and register for award using the links below.

Pupils will need to undertake activities within the four sections – volunteering, skills, physical and expedition – to complete the Award.

DofE Bronze expeditions successfully completed

Well done to all 17 pupils on completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition on Saturday.  The S3 pupils faced challenging weather conditions over the two days, but managed to complete their route – from Scotlandwell to Craigmead and back – and overnight camp successfully.

We’d like to thank the staff and the Assessor for supporting the pupils throughout the expedition.
