Breakfast at break and the CAS award

CAS award
Some students who are part of the MUN have been working on a way to highlight work of a global significance in the the school. The result of this work was announced to the IB students on Thursday. We will now have a CAS award - one for grade 11 and one for grade 12. It can be given to an individual or a group of students for a service activity that they have done as part of CAS. The criteria are:

1. The students should take most of the responsibility for the activity and must show commitment to providing a service in a community.

2. The students’ involvement should increase awareness of the global issue within the school or the greater community - this could be through a strong connection between the activity and the issue. When raising money it is important that people understand what they are contributing to and why this issue is important.

3. The students should demonstrate that they have an understanding of the impacts of their action and how it affects the community. This can be shown through reflections or presentations or discussions with for example supervisors, coordinators or other members of the community.


Breakfast at break
Today the annexe council organised a 'breakfast' during morning breakfast all the IB students in annexe C. The grade 11s brought the food and the grade 12s helped to eat it. There was a good atmosphere in the annexe and many students wished that they could have this every day. Representatives from annexe council said that they would definitely consider doing it again.
