This year 18 boys completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – a new benchmark for the school after 11 students in 2014, 12 in 2015 and 16 students in 2017.

The boys showed great perseverance and demonstrated the positive effect of a strong, supportive cohort.

To complete the award, the students participated in a range of activities including 12 months of physical recreation, 12 months of a skill of their choice, 12 months of community service, a four-day adventurous journey and a five-day residential project. Coordinator of Duke of Edinburgh Mr Dominic Garner congratulated the boys for their efforts.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you develop into well rounded, community minded, young men of the world,” he said.
