Duke of Edinburgh Awards for Le Murier Pupils

Young People will be invited to receive their awards at Government House along with members of their family.  

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has been going strong since it began in 1956. Then, it was only for boys and the programme included rescue and public service, expedition, pursuits and fitness.  

In 1957 they started the Duke of Edinburgh Award for girls which included design for living, adventure and interests and service. 

In 1980 they established the programme as we know it today. One programme designed for all, that of service, expeditions, skills and physical recreation. 

Le Murier School have always excelled in helping their students to achieve everything that they can and the Duke of Edinburgh Award is no exception. 

His Excellency always enjoys this occasion and has also been up to the school to make presentations in previous years.
