Got a Green Flag? Great but keep adding to your portfolio.

Most of you have green flags and that is great.  It doesn't mean that you should stop working on your portfolio.  This week there were changes in about half of the portfolios - I get a message when you make a change!  Everyone should try to take at least 10 - 15 minutes each week to check and up-date portfolios.  Things to check are:

• have I added evidence in the last month for long term experiences?
• have I reflected on all my experiences around twice a term?
• have I completed any finished experiences?
• do I have  all the learning outcomes covered?
• have I updated the CAS stages document for my project?
• is my project going to be finished this term?
• do I have a good balance between creativity, activity and service?
