The Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award is an internationally recognised award focusing on personal challenge and skill-building. This year, Raglan Area School delivered the Bronze Award and plans to build on this, delivering Silver and Gold in the years to come.

• Volunteering (helping the community)
• Physical (improving fitness)
• Skill (developing a talent)
• Expedition (planning and undertaking an overnight journey)
All of the year 10 students had the opportunity to participate in this award, working diligently on all aspects through an embedded approach in the PE and Health programme.
The award culminated in a fantastic final Adventurous Journey (Expedition) to Rotorua last week, featuring challenging mountain biking and hiking around Lake Ōkareka. We look forward to formally celebrating the students’ resilience, teamwork, and achievement at the upcoming Year 7-10 Prizegiving!
