Kilgraston collaboration: Duke of Edinburgh Awards and John Muir programme
Kilgraston is proud of the breadth of clubs & activities we offer to our pupils. It is an opportunity to extend and grow skills, whether these be old or new.
This year our Duke of Edinburgh Awards department will be collaborating with Dr Phillips and his John Muir Award programme.
We will be using the John Muir Discovery Award to support and evidence the Volunteering section of the Bronze level Duke of Edinburgh Award. The students will devise a structured conservation project to complete and in doing so they will gain knowledge and skills from this practical learning that will be useful for all aspects of their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The John Muir Award is something that is achievable within a short time frame and this collaboration will increase the participants appreciation of the environments which they will find themselves in during their Duke of Edinburgh expedition. Students will also gain a nationally recognised certificate upon completion of their Discovery Award and again upon completion of the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award is open to any student over the age of 14 and enrolment will take place over the coming weeks.
