We are so proud of the students who have been presented with their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. This is a very prestigious award and every young person who achieves their Gold award is invited to attend a Gold Award celebration event at a Royal Palace, attended by a member of the Royal Family.

Congratulations to everyone who achieved their DofE Gold (5 students), the photos show Thiyani collecting her award from Buckingham Palace. Thiyani sent us these photos and thanked us for the opportunity saying it had been an honour and an enjoyment - what a wonderful day out and congratulations Thiyani!
