Lisnagarvey High School

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a voluntary, non-competitive and flexible programme of cultural and adventurous activities for all young people, whatever their background or ability. Here at Lisnagarvey, we offer students the opportunity to undertake both Bronze and Silver Award programmes. Recent expeditions have been successfully completed in both the Mourne Mountains and Donegal.

Why do we offer the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme?

The Award is widely recognised by employers and people involved in education. Some of the benefits to young people include developing self-confidence and self-reliance; gaining a sense of achievement and a sense of responsibility; discovering new skills, interests and talents and developing leadership skills and abilities. They can also discover exciting opportunities; make new friends; experience teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making; increase their motivation; enhance their self-esteem and develop their communication skills. They will also, of course, have fun!
