PISA is the first school in Malaysia to introduce the Junior Duke Awards!
Seen in the photograph is the first cohort of students from PISA who will be commencing with the various awards, along with the Malaysian Coordinator of the Junior Duke Award, Mr. Ravi.
With nearly 140 progressive challenges across the 10 different levels, the Junior Duke Award helps children to develop confidence and competence in life skills that they otherwise may not learn.
Challenges are tailored to each age group, and include learning First Aid, ironing, preparing meals, building a fire, delivering a presentation, learning how to swim, and much more.
Children take pride in their handwritten self-reflections and enjoy discussing their new skills with their teachers and families. Completing the levels during the school year keeps children motivated to keep learning, building a new sense of community…and competitiveness to finish their level by the end of the school year!
