On the 30 November 2011, 5 Old Colfeians (class of 2010) and their proud parents attended St James Palace to receive their Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, achieved through the Combined Cadet Force at Colfe’s.
Steven Parry said “It was a beautiful sunny day and spirits were high. Everyone was looking forward to meeting the Duke and we were lucky enough to be assembled in the Throne Room - one of the best rooms in the Palace! We all felt very proud to be there and we hope to inspire others to complete their Duke of Edinburgh’s award as it’s possibly one of the biggest and most worthwhile challenges you will undertake. Huge thanks to Major Cherry and his staff for making it possible and keeping us motivated!”
