The candidates came f rom all over Queensland and had all finished the four sections; Expedition, lnterest, Service, and Social or Physical Activities of the Duke of Edinburgh Award which qualified them for the presentation of the Silver Medal. Representing the Award Scheme at school were Amanda Rudd and myself. Unfortunately Jane Pillow was unable to attend because of her involvement in School Sports, but receiv- ed her Award later when the Governor visited our school. We were called up individually and were presented with the Certificate by the Governor, Sir James Ramsay. Shortly after having morning tea at Government House we left, all looking forward to completing the Gold Award. Heather Easton, 6C.
