| A
DofE programme is a real adventure from beginning to end. It doesn't matter who
you are or where you're from. You just need to be aged 14 or over and realise
there's more to life than sitting on a sofa watching life pass you by. |
| You can do programmes at three levels, Bronze,
Silver or Gold, which lead to a Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Students work individually
on all sections except the Expedition, which is done in small groups, travelling
away for two weekends with the school. |
|
All the requirements for the Award can be found on the national website. |

DofE
Volunteers at Comberton Village College |
| Information
and E-mail |
| We would not be able to run DofE
expeditions at Comberton without volunteers who work alongside
our qualified staff. These volunteers come from a range of
links with the school, including ex-pupils, parents, friends
of staff members, colleagues from other schools and even neighbours
of pupils! The efforts and enthusiasm of these volunteers
contribute greatly to the success and popularity of DofE here
at CVC and we cannot thank them enough. |
| Volunteering
for DofE at Comberton Village College: |
| If
you would like to volunteer to assist in any of the expeditions,
please let us know by using the following email: |
|
Volunteering for DofE |
| Please note: all
volunteers will be required to complete a CRB check and must
be 18 or over. We do not normally allow parents to volunteer
for expeditions where their children are participants. |
