IFS is now officially registered to run the Duke of Edinburgh Award and I will be the main coordinator. The award will be available to all students (aged 14 years and over) and I’m confident the experience will have a positive impact on our young people.
In an independent report the DOE Award was found to provide students with opportunities to gain practical skills, make new friends and have new, life-changing experiences. Participants develop a spirit of adventure and character traits such as teamwork, responsibility and leadership.
In addition, the award will help the college develop relationships with the wider community and increase employment skills and prospects for our students.
I will shortly be organising the physical recreation and outdoor education trips which will take place in term 4.
