CAS Goals for 2014-2015

This year I plan on participating in many activities regarding CAS. For creativity I plan on getting involved with the Senior Play. For action I plan on playing football every Wednesday and Thursday while participating in SAISA Football as well as SAISA Track and Field. For service I am joining the service group SOS. In this service group, we will be going to a local orphanage here in Colombo to interact with the kids there and to play with them so that they have a fun time. They will also be coming here to OSC so that we can participate in different activities with them.

Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth
This year I plan on minimizing my weaknesses as much as possible and increasing my areas of growth. I will be doing this by: practicing harder for my athletics, and just exploring my new options and attacking the ones I haven't done/feel interested in.

Undertaking New Challenges
This year I plan on undertaking new challenges such as drama and this new service group. I have not been a part of a drama performance before and I am hoping that this performance will give me new skills to add to my arsenal. Also, in regards to my new service group, I have not been involved with an orphanage group before. So me going and spending time with the orphans will be something new for me.

Working Collaboratively with Others
For this year, I plan on getting involved with a lot of activities and in each of the activities, there is a team. For me to be successful in these various groups, I have to be able to work collaboratively with others so that everything runs efficient and smooth.
For the play, I have to be able to work with everyone so that we are all able to make the play as best as it can be and so that everything will run smoothly.
For football I have to be able to work with my team so that we can play well and win. For track I have to be able to work with my relay teams so that we can be the fastest and win but in a bigger sense, I have to preform my best in everything so that my school team wins overall.
For service I have to be able to work with the kids so that we have a fun time and if we do group activities, we all have to work together to provide the best time for the orphans.

Shown Perseverance and Commitment in Their Activities
This year I will show perseverance and commitment by always going to my activities and never showing up late because I cant develop new skills if I am missing out on certain days and activities.

Engaged With an Issue of Global importance
Through my service group, SOS, we will be engaging with the orphans here in Colombo and helping them out and trying to give them a sense of family by hanging out with them and making them feel special by playing with them and getting them some gifts. Orphanages are all over the world and we are engaging with this issue of global importance through our service group.

Develop New Skills
This year I plan on developing new skills in all of my areas of CAS. For creativity, I am branching out and trying theater for the first time and by doing this I am gaining a new skill. For action, I plan on working more on my shooting skills for football because last year I really lacked in that category. For service I am trying something new by getting involved with the orphanage and I want to develop my communication skills because I will be communicating with locals.

Plan and Initiate Activities
For this year, my goal is to plan more activities for football so that we are better prepared for our final tournament.

Consider the Ethical Implications of my Actions
To address this learning outcome, I will play fair and abide by the rules for all of my sports and I will make sure all of my actions are kind hearted towards people.
