More than 200 young Australians have been recognised by the Governor of New South Wales at the 2021 Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Gold Ceremony.
Office of Sport Chief Executive Karen Jones said the Gold Award recipients displayed incredible resilience and commitment to complete the program during what has been a challenging period for many communities.
“Completing the Gold Award at any time is a remarkable achievement, but to complete it during a period of bushfires, drought, flooding and a global pandemic shows incredible dedication and resilience,” Ms Jones said.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award comprises four sections – Voluntary Service, Skills, Physical Recreation and an Adventurous Journey.
