Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards - 2026 Recipients
A proud moment for A.B. Paterson College as former students Sam Brookes (Class of 2025) and Addison Selby (Class of 2026), together with Year 11 student, Rose D'Alisa, were presented with their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards by the Governor of Queensland, Dr Jeannette Young, at Brisbane City Hall.
The Gold Award is the highest level of the Duke of Edinburgh program and represents hundreds of hours dedicated to personal growth, community service, physical activity, skill development and challenging outdoor experiences.
An extra special congratulations to Rose, who achieved this milestone before beginning her final year at the College.
