The Young New Zealanders' Challenge is the
new name for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. It is a voluntary and
non-competitive programme open to anyone aged between 14 and 25 years old. It has three levels:
Bronze, Silver and
Gold. Each level has four sections: a new
skill, service to the community, physical recreation (sport), and an
expedition.
YNZC@HVHS is designed to offer personal
challenges and to introduce young people to new, exciting and
rewarding activities that they can do in their free time. Most students find that they are already
doing two or three things that qualify for the YNZC. For example, if you
play a sport and a musical instrument, you're half way there!
If you would like to join the YNZC@HVHS
fill in a registration form and see
Mr Wallace in P6A. Most people start
at the beginning of the year, but you can start any time. There's no
time limit for completion. Many students finish the Bronze Level in
one year, but you don't have to.
