Congratulations to Anis Ali, School Captain of Year 12 who has been selected to sit on the Duke of Edinburgh National Youth Advisory Panel. This is a non-standing committee established by the National Board to provide advice on issues important to young people and relevant to the Duke of Edinburgh International Award framework. It is a participation mechanism for young people, enabling them to engage in the decision-making processes that affect the Duke of Edinburgh framework.
The Panel will contribute to the vibrancy of the Duke of Edinburgh framework and provide advice and insight relevant to assisting the National Board, management, and the Award Operating Authorities. The Panel will reflect the diversity of the Duke of Ed and contribute to building the leadership acumen in young people and Award Alumni, ultimately strengthening the leadership sustainability of the Duke of Ed.
Anis, along with 8 of his Year 12 peers are currently completing their Gold Level Duke of Ed Award and 17 Year 11 students about to undertake their Gold Level Adventurous Journey at Uluru and surrounding areas.
