Woohoo!  We are so proud to announce that The New Handbook (which looks HOT!) is now ready for you to download and print!  It provides information on EVERYTHING from Sections to Requirements to Risk Management to The Award Structure. You name it, it’s got it!  So if you have some questions that is a great place to begin.  

The Award family would definitely like to give a massive thanks to Rachel Sainsbury – the very hip, awesome Communications Director who wrote and finalized it! Cheers Rach! 

Now if you haven't noticed it is heading into March, and I'd suggest you get moving my friends because you’ll soon learn that time flies! Have you got yourself a Coordinator? Have you registered with your State/Territory Office? Have you figured out who your Assessors will be for the 4 Sections? 

 It sounds like there are so many things to do, and a lot of people would question why they’re doing The Award if it requires effort… and that’s the reason why! To get yourself to care about what you’re doing with your life and learning to make the effort!

 So many people these days have taken up the sedentary lifestyle, generally involving a couch and a potato; The Award definitely doesn’t promote that! We say get out and give those things you dream about a go - If not to prove to others, prove to yourself that you can do things that you never thought you could.

 And how much better will you feel with yourself when you’re talking to new people, and the time you went on that crazy hike for your Adventurous Journey, or the time you took up rock climbing for your Physical Rec are great conversation topics and people wish they had of done the same things! 

 The Award not only provides life experience but makes your feel awesome about yourself – and believe me, you are awesome!
