The Residential Project is organised independently by the participant and may be connected to a Skill, Physical Recreation (Sport) or Voluntary Service. It should be carried out over a minimum of four nights and five consecutive days. Participants must take part in the project together with other people with whom they are not previously familiar. Many participants choose to do their Residential Project during the long break between Year 12 and Year 13. Their proposed project must be discussed with their Award Leader, and details submitted through the ORB App for checking and approval before arrangements are made.
