Alice Flynn | Editor Jack Mitchell-Divers | Editor-in-Chief The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award: a vocational asset to supplement your qualifications in the increasingly competitive fight to gain a university place. It truly demonstrates that you are a versatile individual, something which is well sought-after among many employers. Personally, I attained the Bronze Award last year and decided to take on the additional challenge of Silver to further my interpersonal skills.
Erin Seils| A group of pupils from St Andrew’s and St Bride’s have been completing sections of the Duke of Edinburgh Award since October 2015. Mr Clark oversaw the programme and was supported by other volunteering members of teaching staff, who helped to keep the pupils on track.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a journey of self- discovery, teamwork and gaining confidence. I did my Bronze Award in 2014. It was a challenging experience, but also rewarding and fulfilling. There are four sections you must complete in order to achieve the award, consisting of Skills, Physical, Volunteering and Expedition. The Skill section was by far my favourite as I chose to do Art.
