The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme challenges young people aged 14 to 25 throughout the world to serve others, acquire new skills, experience adventure and make new friends. Each award should add purpose and pleasure to a young person's life. Their achievements are widely recognised in education and employment. Students may enter at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. Commitment is vital.

In most years, between 90 and 100 Year 9 students enrol for Bronze, 20-40 Year 10 for Silver and 10-20 for Gold.
