Through its programmes, boys gain practical life skills and a clear framework for acting with integrity, preparing them to contribute positively to their communities, both during their time at College and well beyond the gates.

Working with the Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre, boys also complete the Bronze Adventurous Journey component of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S HILLARY AWARD The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award focuses on challenging young people to be the best they can be, to discover and build on their strengths and interests through service, skills, physical recreation, and adventurous journeys. It is a well-established and widely supported part of College life. Christ’s College has one of the highest participation rates in the country. Each year, more than 100 boys complete the Bronze Award, with strong progression through to Silver and Gold. Every boy is given the opportunity to be involved, and service is a required component at each level of the award. Through sustained involvement, boys gain a clear understanding of the value of service and the commitment required.
