Continuing the Storytelling of our History

earlier days of the the Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Duke of Edinburgh scheme began at SAC in 1999 as a spin-off from the Year 9 camp. The first year saw 8 students participating, with numbers increasing each year to reach 260 participants at all 3 levels in 2022.  From hiking along the Heyson Trail through Kuitpo Forest to kayaking on the River Murray, sailing on the tall ship One-and-All and joining in the local community projects on Tiwi Island. Student revel in the adventure despite the complaints of rain and cold, early mornings, enjoying the camaraderie and sense of achievement that these activities bring.
