DUke of Edinburgh program
Equipping all young New Zealanders for promising futures
The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Program - a key part of the TS Chatham experience!
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award is a global non-formal education framework, with more than 60 years of experience challenging rangatahi to dream big and discover their potential.
With the assistance of Piper Mejia, we are now offering this internationally recognised and respected program as part of the TS Chatham experience.
Our cadets set their own challenge. With guidance from both Piper and Lt. Clarke, each young person is encouraged to examine themselves - their interests, their ambitions, and set challenges for our four Award sections; Voluntary Service, Physical Recreation, Skills and Adventurous Journey (along with Gold Residential – at Gold level only).
The exciting part is that a lot of the elements of this program is foundational elements to the TS Chatham Navy Cadets program so you achieve twice the rewards for the same experience.
