The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Presentation Ceremony

On Wednesday 17th June 2026, we were delighted to welcome to the school H.E. the British High Commissioner, Mr Michael Tatham CMG, as Guest of Honour at the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Presentation Ceremony. He was thrilled to attend the event and present the new Gold Awardees with their certificates and pin badges.

This year’s achievements in the Award programme have not only equipped students with invaluable life skills but have also fostered a sense of accomplishment and confidence that will undoubtedly benefit them in their future endeavours. The event was a wonderful celebration of our students’ hard work, dedication, and achievements. This academic year has been remarkable with a total of 208 Award completions (120 Bronze Awards, 65 Silver Awards, and 23 Gold Awards) so far.

During the event, it was also a great pleasure to welcome three ESL2002 Gold Awardees, Anna-Maria Shiarli, Elpida Phitidis and Stella Nikolaou, back to the school. They had very fond memories of their Gold Award Adventurous Journeys and Residential Project in Finland 25 years ago, and they shared many interesting stories from their experiences.

Congratulations to all the new Awardees on this outstanding achievement!
