Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award

RIS is proud to offer the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award to secondary students in Years 11-13.

This is an exciting self-development programme available equipping the students with life skills to make a difference to themselves, their communities and the world. The Award concept is one of individual challenge designed to encourage young people to develop into responsible, active citizens who will positively contribute towards society. 

It presents a balanced, non-competitive and enjoyable programme of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery and growth, self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility and service to the community. 

For this Award, students need to participate in activities in four sections in order to gain the award:

  1. Service
    This section of the award provides our students with a sense of worth from having given service and help to others in their community.
  2. Skills
    This section provides our students with the opportunity to either improve on an existing skill, or to try something new.
  3. Physical Recreation
    This section specifically aims to encourage a more active lifestyle and to improve team skills, self-esteem and confidence of our students.
  4. Adventurous Journey/Expedition

The Expedition section requires participants to undertake an assessed backpacking and camping expedition. It aims to take students out of their comfort zone, within a safe and secure setting as a result of a suitable training and supervision
