Year 9 Duke of Edinburgh's International Award

Due to demand we are releasing the Duke of Edinburgh's Award registration information for all Year 9 students. Interested students need to return registration forms to the Senior School Office or the Outdoor Education office.

Information about the Award can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX09zAStCGg or at https://inspire.westminster.sa.edu.au/Play/OutdoorEducation/Pages/default.aspx

Calendar and Website

Our updated Outdoor Education website has been developed and provides another platform to find out about the opportunities available at Westminster including all consent forms for all Outdoor Education and Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expeditions.

Tasmania 2019

In December we are planning for a group of Duke of Edinburgh's Award students to complete the famous Walls of Jerusalem walking circuit, a day of white-water kayaking on the Derwent River and then a few days of rock-climbing at the coastal area of Freycinet. These end-of-year trips are a great culminating experience for students who are keen to pursue their involvement in expeditions in environments totally diverse from SA.
