Since 2020, our school has been a proud Award Center for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, offering students the chance to engage in this internationally-recognised youth development programme. Many of our students have successfully completed their Bronze Award, making remarkable steps in the programme’s three core sections: Physical Activity, Skills, and Volunteering.

​

Physical Activity

A key highlight of the programme is the Adventurous Journey, where students embark on a team-based expedition that challenges them to develop leadership, problem-solving, and outdoor survival skills. This journey encourages resilience, cooperation, and adaptability. Since the start of the programme, EVO students successfully completed two adventurous Journeys to complete their awards to

• Marsa Alam, where they practiced navigation and team-building skills in the beautiful Red Sea region

• Siwa, deep in, where they applied their survival skills in Egypt's Western Desert

Additionally, students participated in other activities such as boxing and yoga.

​

Skills

Our students pursued personal growth by developing a wide range of new abilities:

• Cooking

• Baking

• Knitting

• Learning new musical instruments

 

Volunteering

Our students have made significant contributions to their communities in meaningful ways. Some created auditory storytelling content for the visually impaired, while others provided emotional support to children battling cancer. Many also helped younger students with tutoring, showcasing the value of mentorship and community service.
