The International Award has brought profound and lasting benefits to our students at St. Julian’s School. We have large numbers of students participating every year, and the programme has become an integral part of our school culture. One of the remarkable aspects of the International Award is its ability to help us instil a greater sense of responsibility and commitment in our students. The structure of the programme encourages them to set and achieve personal goals, fostering independence and a strong work ethic. The Award’s emphasis on voluntary service has helped develop our students’ understanding of social responsibility, while providing opportunities to develop a sense of empathy.
The adventurous journey component of the programme is a firm favourite of our students and teachers. Through facing the challenges of the great outdoors, students develop teamwork and problem-solving skills in a real-world context. These experiences create lasting memories while also equipping our students with a wide variety of tools necessary to navigate the complexities of life beyond the classroom.
Overall, the International Award has proven to be an invaluable asset to the students of St. Julian’s School, contributing significantly to their personal and social development.
