Duke of Ed

We are a Duke 4Sport partner

Duke 4Sport Partnership

At Winston Hills Athletics Centre we are proud to be a recognised Duke 4Sport partner, supporting The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award — a global youth development framework empowering young Australians aged 14–24 to build skills, confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of being active.

As part of this partnership, WHAC offers meaningful, inclusive and community‑focused opportunities for young people to complete the Physical Recreation, Skills, and Voluntary Service sections of their Duke of Ed across Bronze, Silver and Gold Levels. Whether you’re training as an athlete, developing new skills, or giving back to your community, there is a pathway for you at WHAC.

All coaches, officials and mentors involved in our Duke 4Sport programs hold valid Working with Children Checks.
