The Duke of Edinburgh's Award in NSW

The Award began in New South Wales in 1962 and is a program of Communities NSW - Sport and Recreation.

There are over 400 organisations currently registered to operate the Award in NSW including schools, and youth organisations and community groups, including those involved with Youth at Risk and Indigenous Youth.

Introducing the Online Record Book ( ORB )

Over the past 18 months the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Authority and the NSW Award Division have been working collaboratively to introduce a new interactive Online Record Book (ORB) which will replace the set of three paper Record Books currently in use.

The ORB is a system for online recording of information on activities undertaken by Participants doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program. It  has been designed with you and Participants in mind and provides a new and easy to use management system encouraging a greater completion rate amongst your Participants. Further enhancements to the ORB are in the pipeline and will be progressively rolled out in the future.

Coordinators will have the ability to review a Participant’s progress and to provide information and feedback using a more efficient method of communication. It allows for instant entry into The Award and eliminates delays associated with ordering books, blue registration cards, parental permissions and receiving Award certificates.
