DUKE OF EDINBURGH
Duke of Edinburgh at Rathkeale is slowly gaining
traction and it was really pleasing to have a Bronze
and Silver Award Adventurous Journey go out this
term over Queen’s Birthday. Many of the students
who have signed up are well on their way to
reaching their personal goals and badges. However,
I must encourage you to continue to log your hours
via the online portal or app as you complete each
week. Some students have completed their hours but have yet to log them, meaning their
badges cannot yet be awarded!

Rory Thomson, a leaver in 2017, was presented with his Gold Award early this term and it
would be great to announce some Silver and Bronze Awards in Term 3.

Liam Wardman has accepted the position of Student Co-ordinator and he will be helping the
boys log their progress, set up trainings and practice journeys as well as generally promoting
the Award at Rathkeale.

Please check out the Facebook page Rathkeale College Duke of Edinburgh International Award
for updates and news or check the website https://dofehillary.org.nz/ for how to join up to
the Award.
Currently we have lots of boys involved in hours of service, sporting and skills activities who
are not signed up for the Award and they can easily use these times to gain their badges
without adding to their workloads. If you are interested, please talk to Liam or Ms Evans for
further information.

YEAR 13 AGRIBUSINESS SURVEY

Currently, in Level 3 Agribusiness we are ' Analysing a human resource issue affecting
businesses' and we are looking at the shortage of shearers in NZ. It would be very much
appreciated if any current or ex sheep farmers would be able to take 5 mins to complete the
survey below. Thank you.
