The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Salesian School is proud to operate one of the largest and most successful school DofE programmes in the country.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is the world’s leading achievement award for young people. DofE is an opportunity to discover new interests and talents, but most importantly, develop skills for life and work. Hundreds of our students successfully complete the award each year.
We offer the DofE awards in Year 9 (Bronze), Year 10 (Silver) and at Salesian College in Year 12/13 (Gold), as an enrichment activity.
