It's finally arrived!! i am a senior!! This year is going to be be a tough one in-terms of studies. I have however set myself specific CAS goals to accomplish as well.
I felt that i managed to fulfill the goals i had set for 11 grade: http://karlgcas.blogspot.com/2010/09/aims-and-objectives-2010.html. This year however i aim to elaborate on some of those and work on those areas i didn't cover as well as i would have like to.
I am going to try to involve myself more with Service as it was one of my weak links last year. I am continuing with Cleft lip and Palate, this year we aim to concentrate a bit more on working with the community and interacting more with the kids. I will also try and work with DAWG on the side. I think stray dogs are a big problem in Sri Lanka. Their welfare and sterilization is helpful to both the community and the dogs themselves. I am therefore looking forward to contributing to the cause.
I am also looking to continue my leadership role with the football team as the captain. This year i aim to work on those skills and hopefully help my team achieve more this year; in this i also aim to collaborate with the others to create a greater team spirit . Last year was a dissapointment for us in terms of Saisa Football. This year we have high hopes for the team and we will hopefully win a lot !!!
In terms of action i also aim to participate in other sports activities. I am going to try and participate in the Saisa Basketball season. It is a totally new skill for me and i aim to work on it a bit. My aim is to at least practice, even though i may be no good.
Last year i managed to fulfill my creative goals. This year however i have set the bar a bit higher. I gave up early on Guitar last year. This year my guitar has been brought back out of the attic for a renewed attempt. I aim to at least be able to play the guitar fluently without sounding like an absolute begginner. I am looking forward to this new challenge.As mentioned before, i also aim to continue my creative drawing. This year i will also continue with a hobby i began during my summer breaks, capturing different types of flowers in Colombo. I will also expand this to: capturing any interesting moment.
Finally the most important thing: Have fun and try to enjoy my final year ( if that is even possible)!!
I aim to persevere in all the activities i undertake namely football, Service, art, guitar and Photography.
The 8 learning outcomes which i will aim to follow are listed below.
• Undertaken new challenges: A new challenge may be an unfamiliar activity, or an extension to an existing one.
• Planned and initiated activities: Planning and initiation will often be in collaboration with others. It can be shown in activities that are part of larger projects, for example, ongoing school activities in the local community, as well as in small student-led activities.
• Worked collaboratively with others: Collaboration can be shown in many different activities, such as team sports, playing music in a band, or helping in a kindergarten. At least one project involving collaboration and the integration of at least two of creativity, action and service, is required.
• Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities: At a minimum, this implies attending regularly and accepting a share of the responsibility for dealing with problems that arise in the course of activities.
• Engaged with issues of global importance: Students may be involved in international projects but there are many global issues that can be acted upon locally or nationally (for example, environmental concerns, caring for the elderly).
• Considered the ethical implications of their actions: Ethical decisions arise in almost any CAS activity (for example, on the sports field, in musical composition, in relationships with others involved in service activities). Evidence of thinking about ethical issues can be shown in various ways, including journal entries and conversations with CAS advisers.
• Develop new skills: As with new challenges, new skills may be shown in activities that the student has not previously undertaken, or in increased expertise in an established area.
