Activity Ideas

From time to time there are some great ideas that are worth sharing with others about what can be done for the "Skill", Physical Recreation" or "Service" section of the Award. 

To kick start this off check out this opportunity from AFL Queensland.

AFL Queensland - complete all three or any part of the Dukes Award

AFL Queensland will offer education, training and support for Duke of Ed participants who wish to explore the role of umpiring. Umpiring will allow Duke of Ed participants to deepen their understanding of the game and also teaches them crucial decision-making, communication, and conflict resolution skills.

Not only does this partnership support the AFL by attracting new umpires and retaining existing umpires, but it also provides a pathway for Duke of Ed participants to complete up to three of their Award sections: Physical Recreation, Skills and Voluntary Service.

If your interested in learning more about how umpiring with AFL Queensland can benefit your Duke of Ed participants – please head to the AFL Queensland website.

Volunteering Ideas

Freddy Match connects Duke of Edinburgh participants with suitable volunteering opportunities. The focus is on making it easier for students to find safe and meaningful volunteer roles themselves and reducing the time staff spend sourcing options. Students can search for age appropriate roles, apply directly to organisations and volunteer for causes that match their interests and availability. It has been particularly helpful for motivated students who just need a clear starting point.
