MIS offers two high-commitment, high-reward 'super-SLP' activities, one of which is the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award for Senior School students. 


The International Award is the international version of the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh Award.


Established in the UK in 1956, the Programme is based around three Levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold – each successive one requiring a greater degree of commitment and challenge. 


To gain an Award, Participants must complete activities in four Sections: Voluntary Service, Expedition, Skills, and Physical Recreation.

Find Yourself

Through  offering  the  Award  as  a co-­curricular  activity,  students  at MIS have  an  opportunity  to  develop life skills, which are at the centre of learning at MIS.

First Aid

Heal Yourself

First Aid training is a requirement of the program as participants will find themselves in challenging environments and situations.

Campfire Cooking

Feed Yourself

An essential skill of any survivalist is cooking and preparing food.  Award participants have many opportunities to challenge and develop their culinary skills around a campfire.

Navigation

Get Lost

The Award program prepares participants to get lost and know what to do about it.  

Night Navigation

Go With A Goal

Each Expedition includes a team goal –  emphasising the collaborative nature of the Expedition requirement of the program.

Day Hikes

You Are The Guide

Award team members are encouraged toward independence and benefit from the feeling of remoteness.  Intrusions by adults are kept to a minimum.

Camp Outs

Better Yourself

The goal of the program is to empower Award participants to make a difference to other people’s lives and their community, be fitter and healthier, make new friends, and have memories to last a lifetime.

Expeditions

Challenge Yourself

At the heart of the Expedition is the opportunity for a young person to engage in activities that require determination, physical effort, perseverance, problem solving and cooperation.

Awards Ceremony

Bronze, Silver, & Gold

Achieving an Award will give you skills, confidence and an edge over others when you apply for college, university or a job.
