An afternoon with The Duke of Edinburgh

Awards Victoria flies in for a Friday afternoon with Prince Philip

You don't often get to meet the figurehead of an internationally-revered organisation. The opportunity is made rarer still when that figurehead is HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. 

Two members of Awards Victoria's dedicated team jetted off to Canberra for an afternoon reception with Prince Philip. Along with representatives of The Duke Of Edinburgh's Award from across the country, Siv Yoganathan (Development Officer) and Erin Martin (Administrative Officer), celebrated the Award in the presence of its founder. They were joined by Rowyn Williams (Gold Awardee), Paul Kelly  (Gold Participant) and Deb Tucker (Coordinator at Ashwood School). Listen to the audio below for Paul's interview with 4BC Radio Queensland!

With the 50th anniversary of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Australia coming up soon, what a fantastic way to kick-start the year-long celebrations in 2012. 

The entire team at Awards Victoria is delighted to be part of it!
