Personal Profiles

 Together we looked at the CAS STRANDS and now you all should have a better idea of what CAS is about.  We also looked at the CAS OUTCOMES and using this information, you should now be able to start creating your CAS personal profile.  Your profile should describe who you are, what you can do and what you want to improve.  Look carefully at the Learning Outcomes as they are what you need to achieve with CAS.  Write about what you think you can do to meet these 7 outcomes.  

Look through the CAS student handbook and this blog - see the pages at the side - for ideas.  Come and talk to me if you have any questions.  Further down this post you can see pictures from the work we did in the introduction week.  Due to many other commitments during advisory time, we won't have a chance for another workshop until after the September break.  I will start interviews in week 39  - that gives you some time to work on your profile.  I expect everyone to bring a profile to the interview.  Your profile can be on the form I gave you - but you can also add in other information.
Here are some other questions to help you think of things to include:

What are your talents?

What do you enjoy doing?

What skill or talent would you like to improve?

What are you already doing that could be part of your CAS programme?

What would you like to be involved in?

Describe a time when you helped someone else or helped with a cause.

Describe a time when someone helped you.

About what issues do you have concern or feel most passionate?

Are there any local clubs or community associations in which you could be involved?

What would you like to learn more about?

What have you always wanted to try but haven’t yet?
