Avondale School encourages personal development by offering students the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.

Students participate out of school hours in numerous community services, physically challenging and personal skill-based activities.

Hiking, abseiling, cycling and the bridge climb push the physical boundaries of participants while community service projects involve helping with StormCo, the Rural Fire Brigade and Black Sabbath school programs at the local churches.

The team is made up of students, teachers and parents who travel to foreign countries at their own expense to help poor communities.
