The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, a prestigious youth achievement recognition, is proudly offered at WIS, providing students with valuable life skills. Students have the opportunity to achieve the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards as part of this program. This award encompasses a framework for informal learning, encouraging students to dream big, celebrate their accomplishments, and make a meaningful impact. By fostering transferable skills, improving fitness, embracing adventure, and engaging in community service, the Award guides students in discovering their purpose, passion, and role in the world. Open to all students from Year 10 and above, regardless of background, culture, skills, or interests; the Award had over one hundred students registered for the 2023/24 academic year. The Award’s adventurous journeys took students across the UAE, from the expansive deserts of Ras Al Khaimah to the rugged mountains of Fujairah. Participants undertook various days of hiking, trekking and bonding at camp with their team members. A heartfelt congratulations to all the students who participated in the Award this year; each one has demonstrated remarkable achievements.
