On Sunday 9th May, Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award recipient, Kalisi Fisiiahi, and her family attended the Auckland memorial and thanksgiving service for Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Parnell. 

We have been running the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Wesley for 18 months and seven students have currently achieved their Bronze Award and are now enrolled on the Silver Award. 

The Duke of Edinburgh Award aims to help young people "build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their passions, and discover talents they never knew they had." 

For many young people, it can be a life-changing experience and we will always be thankful to Prince Philip for the part he has played in making it happen. 

Thank you to the Fisiiahi family for representing Wesley College at the memorial and, for helping New Zealand to acknowledge the difference Prince Philip has made to so many young people.
