- Art Club: Last year I implemented this activity (which was then called the Drawing Club) into my CAS program before it was cancelled near the end of the year. Since I am no longer a part of the SGA, my focus on my art and drawing skills in the club will increase, and instead of using it as a non-stressful place to develop my art skills, I intend to set myself a few small goals or project and consciously improve myself. This could be making my own short comic book, learning more about different drawing styles like realism, and so on. This mind set for the Art Club incorporates the learning outcomes of: Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth, Undertaken new challenges, Planned and initiated activities, Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities, and Develop new skills.
- Piano Lessons: I have taken these lessons since Gr 10 but failed to mention it in last year's goals list. What I would most like to achieve by the end of the year with this, is to completely master a complicated music piece and play it flawlessly. The same learning outcomes apply for both creativity activities.
- Volleyball, basketball & football: These are the same SAISA teams I have been in for the last couple years and I really like the sports and team dynamics that come from playing them. Unfortunately, this year will require me to focus more on academics, so it is unlikely that I will participate in basketball, and even more so in football as these two seasons are closer to the mocks and the actual exams. Luckily volleyball (my favourite sport) takes place early in the year, so I can participate in SAISA without worrying too much about my school work. These SAISA sports incorporate the learning outcomes of: Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth, Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities, Worked collaboratively with others, and Develop new skills
Service
- Service: This year for service I intend to participate in a different one than Alzheimer’s. Hopefully something that works with children as I have realized (from WWW) that I really enjoy working with them as opposed to elderly people. Learning outcomes that are used for this are: Undertaken new challenges, Worked collaboratively with others, Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities, Engaged with issues of global importance, Considered the ethical implications of their actions, and Develop new skills.
