Duke of Edinburgh Awards
More students than ever took up the opportunity to get recognition for the activities they already do and earn QCE points, an International Award and a point of difference for future employment and applications. Some of our students are gaining employment as a direct result of having completed Duke.
Our adventures have seen the team venture to Girraween’s enormous and precariously balanced boulders, see the spectacular wildlife and flowers among the granite and Binna Burra nestled in Lamington National Park’s cool and ancient Gondwana forest. Executive Principal Chris Capra joined us on our last adventure as we hiked through the caves track, exploring the special views and local indigenous land features such as Kweebani Cave. When the day light runs out, students collect by the fire for stories. One student subtly stops the group talk “Everyone, this has been the most awesome experience I have ever had”.
