Status Updates - red flag warnings

I have started to get tough on all you people who have not up-dated your CAS portfolios.  You MUST have evidence and reflections for every experience that you did last term in order to get a green flag.  If I am particularly concerned about your progress, I have sent an email to your parents.  I will be holding interviews with people who have red flags this month. Later in the term I will interview everyone else.

Evidence is not hard

• If you go to the gym - upload your membership and attendance records
• If you run - keep a record with an app and upload it regularly
• If you go to any classes - swimming, dancing, piano - upload the payment receipt
• If you play a sport - upload the match listings, table of results, pictures
• If you write for the paper - put in the links to your articles
• If you have a blog/website/youtube channel - put up the link
• Whatever you do - take photos and upload!!!!!!!!

Reflections take more thought

They do not have to be in writing - they can be recorded - film or audio.  You can do them in groups.  We will have some time to do this in Advisory class.  

Having difficulties?

Come and ask me, I am sure we can solve the problem together.

Coming up 

There is a short film festival for people ages between 16 and 19 http://www.stockholmfilmfestival.se/sv/junior/2016/1-minut-film There is some information in English and you can see last year's winners.

You can find the brochure at: film festival brochure

It's in Swedish but you can googletranslate or see me if you want help with it.  The deadline is March 27th - the film must be 1 and 3 minutes long - no professional equipment required and a prize for the winner.

Volunteer Work

For those of you still looking for service opportunities the Stockholm Film Festival Junior is looking for people to help out during the break in week 9.  You will find this in both the English and Swedish pages on https://www.volontarbyran.org/en/english

MUN conference in school

Usually MUN doesn't qualify for service, but if you are part of the organising team for the MUN conference in the school, you can count some of your hours as service.  Otherwise, they should be counted only as creativity.  A lot of you have marked 'demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance' and 'recognise and consider the ethics of choices and actions' as learning outcomes for MUN.  Make sure you think about this during the conference and are able to reflect on how you met these outcomes. 

P.S.

If you don't have any flag, it means that your CAS portfolio is OK but there are a couple of things that need to be fixed.  Fix them and get yourself a green flag.  Rewards will be given to all people with green flags on Friday.
