Avery Beuth’s Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award

Huge congratulations to Avery Beuth (Year 12) who was formally presented with his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award at the awards ceremony in Auckland recently.

This prestigious accomplishment represents almost 2 and half years of dedication involving volunteer work (including Surf Lifesaving NZ and Keep NZ Beautiful), physical recreation, skill development, 3 adventurous journeys (including sea kayak trips around Mahurangi, Motuora Island and the Bay of Islands), and a residential project.

He commenced his Bronze award in Year 9 and has worked diligently and committedly each week, completing his Gold award with an 8 day Outward Bound course in Anakiwa in December 2025 at the end of Year 11, making him one of the youngest award recipients.

This is a remarkable achievement that reflects great resilience, leadership, and commitment – well done Avery!
