The Duke of Edinburgh Program
Our Year 10 students have the option to join The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program. Edmund Rice College provides opportunities for our students to attain the Bronze and Silver Awards. The Duke of Edinburgh Program supplements the extensive College Outdoor Education opportunities offered to our students.
Chess
At the beginning of each year students are invited to compete for a place in the Edmund Rice College Chess team. Our Chess teams compete in the NSW Junior League interschool competition, at both home and away games. There are other opportunities to compete open to everyone, including the Sydney Chess Academy Interschool Chess heat held at Edmund Rice College. For those simply wanting to play for fun, there is an enthusiastic and welcoming community of students who play chess at recess and lunch every day.
