Join the Duke of Edinburgh Award Club!

 

The Duke of Edinburgh Award club @ Sullivan Heights http://sullivanheightsdukeaward.webnode.com//

The Award is a programme that encourages youth to be active, to participate in new activities and pursue current interests in four different areas. All you have to do is choose one activity that’s of interest to you in each of the four areas of the programme, set a personal goal and then work to achieve it. Visit the Duke’s official site: www.dukeofed.org/bc

1.       Community Service

2.       Personal Skill Development

3.       Physical Recreation

4.       Adventurous Journey

Many High Schools, Colleges and Universities offer The Award.

You can work on the 4 areas at the same time, so it won’t take away from your social life or distract you from studying!

Why Should I Bother?

It’s all about trying something new, challenging yourself, learning new skills and making new friends. You’ll discover how choosing, planning and achieving personal goals can change your life. Also:

·       It looks great on a resume;

·       It’s impressive on a scholarship application;

·       Many universities now look at broad-based admission.

Who Can Take the Challenge?

The Award can be done by absolutely anyone and everyone aged 14 to 25.

At Sullivan, the Duke of Edinburgh Award will run as a lunch-time school club, every Monday 10:45 to 11:20 in room C103: bring your lunch! The Adventurous Journey portion of the Award will be offered through the Outdoors club. To register, attend a meeting or send an email to bourassa_b@surreyschools.ca
