The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
At Byron College, the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a powerful way for students to live out our CARE values—Community, Action, Respect, and Excellence—while developing essential skills for life. This prestigious global programme, active in over 140 countries, helps young people grow through adventure, service, and personal challenges, preparing them for future success.
As a certified Duke of Edinburgh Award Centre, we offer Bronze and Silver level Awards to students in Years 10–13. Participants shape their own journey, choosing activities in Skills, Physical Recreation, and Voluntary Service. This flexibility empowers students to develop Confidence, Leadership, and Resilience while pursuing their individual interests and abilities.
The Award’s Adventurous Journey pushes students to explore beyond their limits, cultivating Critical Thinking and Collaboration. Through community service and personal achievement, participants strengthen their Integrity and sense of Responsibility, while building connections with peers and leaders.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at Byron College is more than a challenge—it’s a chance for students to grow, excel, and embody the values that will shape their futures as leaders in a dynamic world.
The Adventurous Journey section of the Duke of Edinburgh Award is an exciting and challenging experience that encourages participants to explore the great outdoors. Participants are trained to plan and undertake a journey, working as a team to navigate in an unfamiliar environment. This journey fosters resilience, collaboration, and self-awareness while providing a sense of adventure and discovery.
