Award FAQ's

When can I register for Silver level?

Registration typically closes late Term One each year.

Bonus ATAR?

The University of New South Wales offers bonus ATAR points under their Elite Athletes and Performers Program (EAP). Macquarie University also offer a similar program.

Note that exclusions apply and that MU / UNSW reserves the right to change bonus points allocations without notice.

I do cadets? Can I count it for the duke?

Silver Level:

Cadet activities could be considered as your Skill component, noting that skill activities must be non physical.

The various cadet camps typically do not satisfy the journey requirements.

Gold Level:

Cadet activities could be considered as your Skill component, noting that skill activities must be non physical. Alternately, Ranking Cadet activities may satisfy your Service component, depending on your Rank / position in the unit and how you specifically volunteer your time to help others.

Unfortunately cadet camps do not satisfy the DEA journey requirements. One exception here may be Gold BCAT - conditions apply - please contact Mr Dawes for clarification.

Where can I get help with my International Online record Book (IORB)?

Mrs Jellis and Mr Fitzgerald work with senior students during lunchtimes in C10 on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.

The National and State Offices of the DEA are continually updating help files and instructional videos for the IORB. Check this page of the national website as well as the resources page.
