The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award has started being offered at Amity College GHS and students aged 14 and over may join the program. The Duke of Ed is a non-competitive self-development program available to all young people which encourages them to set and achieve goals at a level appropriate to their needs and aspirations.

The Award is a leading structured (non-formal education) youth development program, empowering all young Australians between age 14 to 25 to explore their full potential regardless of their location or circumstance. The Award is a fully inclusive program and has no social, political, or religious affiliations.

The Award is part of an international network of over 143 countries and territories and 8 million Awardees.

The key elements of the program are:

• Open to all between the ages of 14 to 25.
• Three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each progressively more challenging.
• Four Sections: Physical Recreation, Skill, Service, Adventurous Journey plus Residential Project (Gold Level only).
