Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Sheldon has a very proud tradition of participation in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, an internationally recognised programme designed to allow young people to get recognition for what they are doing in their communities for themselves and for others. It also is a great opportunity to get young people to try new things. There are 3 opportunities to earn awards: Bronze (Year 9), Silver (Year 10) and Gold (Year 12)

Across all awards, students must complete activities in four sections: volunteering, physical, skill and expedition. Participants may choose an activity they are already doing or pick something they've always wanted to try. Each activity must be done for 1 hour per week, they should make sure it's something they really enjoy. It is important that students log their activities under the correct section. If you have any questions or need help organising an activity, please talk to Ms Langdon.
