The Duke of Edinburgh Awards

---

The Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award program is part of a worldwide network which provides young people with a balanced, non-competitive program of individual challenge through which they can make constructive use of their leisure time.

​The Award program provides a framework for personal discovery and growth through service, skills, physical recreation and adventurous journeys; developing perseverance, responsibility to self and to the community. Individuals or organisations can use this framework, with its three levels, to provide individual challenge and achievement for young people between the ages of 14 and 25.

​The flexibility of content within the program structure, and the national and international recognition that the Award attracts, make it an effective and challenging opportunity for young people with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. Increasingly, employers and interviewers are recognising the Award as an indicator of responsibility and achievement.

​Students wishing to join the program need to collect a registration form from the Blue Mountain College office. Upon completion they can return it to the office with the required fee. Then their book will be ordered. However, they can start work towards the award from the date they submit the form.
