Kilgraston’s Gold Duke of Edinburgh team

Kilgraston’s Gold Duke of Edinburgh team made a significant impact in our local community. The group, who undertook a variety of volunteer work, carried out almost 1000 hours of volunteer work. The social value of this work has been worked out but the official Duke of Edinburgh organisation as being the equivalent to £4219,50 of work.

Mrs MacGinty said: “The girls who took part in this year’s Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award ought to be immensely proud of themselves. Not only have they contributed a significant amount to our local community with their volunteering efforts, but they undertook their final external trip under some incredibly difficult conditions. Talk about character building, well done girls.”

The group also spend 818 hours developing skills and 818 hours taking part in physical activity: brilliant effort all round girls.

Kilgraston pupils have had a strong commitment and focus of the various Duke of Edinburgh awards with a number of them even receiving their awards at Buckingham Palace.
