Bolton School recently held a celebratory evening to honour students who achieved their Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Awards. The event, attended by students, parents, and staff, highlighted the dedication and perseverance of the awardees.
A significant highlight of the evening was the address by guest speaker, Old Boy Terrence Li. Terrence shared insights from his personal journey, emphasising the importance of resilience, community service, and the value of stepping outside one's comfort zone. His experiences resonated with the students, inspiring them to pursue their goals with determination and to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
The ceremony recognised students who completed various levels of the DofE Award, including Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each award required participants to engage in activities across four sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills, and Expedition. The Gold Award recipients, in particular, demonstrated exceptional commitment, culminating in a challenging expedition that tested their teamwork and leadership abilities.
Head of Foundation, Philip Britton, commended the students for their achievements, noting that the DofE Award not only fosters personal development but also contributes positively to the community. He expressed pride in the students' accomplishments and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence in all their endeavours.
The evening concluded with the presentation of certificates to the awardees, marking a significant milestone in their personal development journeys.
A few weeks later, a group of Sixth Form girls who achieved Gold Awards attended the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards celebration event in Buckingham Palace gardens, accompanied by Mrs. Sells. There, they met with Old Girl Phoebe Chuck, further connecting the school's legacy of achievement and community.
