A level students from Shrewsbury Colleges Group recently collected their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards at Buckingham Palace.
Eight former students from SCG received their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards from Paralympian and TV presenter, Sean Rose, after Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, heard many of the success stories.
Henry Tay, Carl Evans, Jessica Clarkson, Thomas Gould, Ifan George, Gregor Barker, Robbie Jowett and Thomas Emery were the former SCG students that earned their trip to Buckingham Palace – one of the largest groups the college has had attend.
Speaking of his DofE experience Gregor Baker said, “I decided to do the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award because it is a great achievement to put on your CV and helps you stand out to future employers – also my Dad completed his Gold DofE many years ago and I thought it would be fun to do the same.”
