Goals for Senior Year

Now that I am at the begininning of my Senior Year at the Overseas School of Colombo, I need to set some goals for my CAS activities for this year.

Creativity:

I want to continue individual piano and guitar practices. I also want to continue painting for fun, separate from my works for art classes.

With this I will fulfill the following criteria:

• Showing perserverance and commitment


• Developing new skills

Action:

This year I feel like there will be a lot of studying to do so I want to manage my time well with sports. Last year I tried out a new sport; Basketball, but I found this very challenging so this year I think I will only do Swimming and Badminton. Although the variety of sports I do will be quite narrow, I will swim on a regular basis (as I have been over the summer on my own) and Badminton practices will start on the 5th of September 2011 and will be on every Monday.

With this I will fulfill the following criteria:

• Increasing awareness of my strengths and areas of growth


• Working collaboratively with others (in Badminton)


• Showing perseverance and committment


• Developing new skills

Service:

Last year I took part in the CAS Activity in school which organized the school library to make it more easily accessible for students. This year I think I will try another CAS activity that benefits those more in need of my help; 'Hope for Kids' which is a CAS activity that raises funds to help cancer patients.

With this I will fufill the following criteria:

• Increasing awareness of my strengths and areas for growth


• Undertaking new challenges


• Planning and initiating activities


• Working collaboratively with others


• Showing perseverance and committment


• Engaging in issues of global importance

These are the main acitivities I plan on taking part in this year. I will also take part in small activities and create posts to show this when they come up.
