Duke of Edinburgh’s QualifyingBronze Expedition

The Duke of Edinburgh International Award is a globally recognized program that encourages young people to engage in a variety of personal and community activities.

Founded by Prince Philip in 1956, the award aims to equip participants with essential life skills through a structured framework that includes physical challenges, skill development, community service, and adventurous journeys. The program fosters resilience, teamwork, and personal growth, empowering young people to make a positive impact in their communities while building confidence and leadership abilities.

This weekend, five courageous students from Utahloy International School of Guangzhou completed their Duke of Edinburgh’s qualifying Bronze Expedition, marking a significant milestone as the first group to undertake this adventurous journey from our school in over five years.

The expedition took place in the remote Huanghua countryside (Qingyuan), where students Isabella Wu (Y10), Isabella Wells Viasus, Dustin Cha (both Y9), and Samuel and Frank Whiston (both Y7) were required to be completely self-sufficient for two days and one night. In preparation for this challenge, they completed training in navigation, first aid, wilderness cooking, and hiking over the past few weeks.

With the spirit of true adventurers, all five members applied their skills, knowledge, and teamwork during their practice journey last week, leading up to their qualifying expedition from June 1st to 2nd, 2025.

This experience not only tested their outdoor skills but also fostered resilience and teamwork as they faced a variety of challenges together, including extreme humidity, unexpected rain, muddy fields, and relentless mosquito invasions during their 25-kilometer trek.

As iron sharpens iron, each student demonstrated their unique strengths, perseverance, and mutual respect. This journey reflected a strong spirit of collaboration and support for one another, creating memories that will forever characterize their adventure.

It was a humble pleasure for our team to be part of this remarkable journey, witnessing the growth and camaraderie among the students. Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and hard work in making this expedition a resounding success!

UISG is pleased to announce that scholarship applications are now open for both new and current students in Y1 through Y12. We encourage eligible candidates to apply and seize this opportunity to support their academic journey.
