Achieving Gold: A Royal Celebration

Completing the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a remarkable accomplishment. It requires months of dedication, teamwork, and a strong commitment to personal growth and resilience.

In recognition of their achievements, every young person who achieves their Gold Award is invited to attend a celebration event at Buckingham Palace. Recently, two current students, Cyrus and Harry, and two Old Truronians, Ben P (CO24) and Oliver S (CO24) made the trip to London, where they were honoured for their achievements and celebrated their Gold Awards in style.

Reflecting on the experience, Harry said, “It was an incredible day. I had the chance to hear from inspiring people like Jason Fox from the British SAS and even the Duke of Edinburgh himself. It was also really special to share the moment with some of my family.”
