Up to now, involvement in the Award has been affordable and accessible to all who wanted to be involved. However, as of the 1 July the D of E people have seen fit to introduce a substantial rise in registration fees. Entering at Bronze Level and progressing to Silver will each now cost $86.25. Registration for Gold will cost $115.00. This makes the decision to begin or proceed further in the Award something needing careful consideration. The outlay is considerable and this adds some seriousness to the commitment and effort already required to complete each Award level. That being said, the achievements the Awards represent at all levels remain well recognised and valued. It is because of this that we continue to support and promote the Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award scheme here at St Kevin's. We are also determined that no student should be prevented from participating because of cost.
If assistance is needed, please contact the Principal, Mr Olsen and discus your circumstances. We are able to help. Thank you.
