This event was a chance to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our students over the past year. Filled with pride and unity, the evening saw students recognised for their exceptional efforts in various areas, including physical fitness, skills development, volunteering, expeditions, residential experiences, and overall achievement. In addition, several special awards were given to those who showed outstanding commitment and excellence.

Throughout the evening, DofE students shared heartfelt reflections on their personal journeys, celebrating their achievements with friends and family. Silver awardee Lydia shared, “Overall, my DofE experience was incredible. While there were challenges along the way, there were also plenty of unforgettable moments. We shared countless laughs, from running through the woods with horses chasing us to watching our teammates roll down hills and somehow getting lost without knowing how. My DofE journey was truly one to remember.”

Silver awardee Nicole shared her thoughts on the evening, saying, "The DofE award evening was a fantastic success, filled with inspiring presentations, a lively atmosphere, and a strong sense of accomplishment from all participants. It was truly an unforgettable experience and a night to remember."

The same sense of accomplishment was echoed by CCF students, who also relished the opportunity to push themselves and gain valuable skills.

As the evening came to an end, we offered our heartfelt thanks to the staff whose unwavering support made this success possible. The room was filled with applause as we celebrated the perseverance, hard work, and commitment of our DofE students.

To all our DofE and CCF participants, you represent the true values of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Your determination and dedication inspire us all. We are incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved and look forward to seeing you continue to thrive as you embark on even greater challenges in the future.
