Students receive Duke of Edinburgh awards SXITY-FIVE young people from throughout Canterbury have received The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award at a ceremony at the city council’s civic offices. On May 8, the bronze, silver and gold awards were presented by Mayor Phil Mauger. The students worked with Chris Allan from the Joshua Foundation to achieve the awards. They clocked up more than 2000 hours of voluntary service within their community, developed a new skill and become physically active, engaging in both team sports and individual pursuits. Mauger said: “The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award ceremonies are always significant occasions, as we proudly celebrate Ōtautahi rangatahi who have embraced the challenge of the award, risen to every occasion, and achieved success along each step of the journey.” This year marks 60 years of the award in New Zealand, during which time over 275,000 young people have participated, supported by thousands of volunteers.
