Activities

If you could make any sense of my timetable you will see that from Monday to Thursday the latest my classes go on till is about 1:30. So after that we do our service or activities. I’ll make a better post about my service when I’ve started it which is next week.

For the AC Diploma you have to do seven strands. Some you do in your service and others you do as activities. You do two ‘official’ activities a term and as many as you feel like doing unofficially. So by the end of the two years we’ll have done eight activities.

The strands are:

1.       Face to face community service

2.       Action based and outdoor pursuits

3.       Environmental and Sustainable Future Awareness

4.       Global and Intercultural Awareness

5.       Approaches to Learning

6.       Artistic Creativity

7.       Physical health and well being

It seems like a lot to cover but with so many activities to choose from and your service usually does one or two already it’s not that hard. The service that I’m doing (AOC) should cover Face to face community service and Action based and outdoor pursuits. So today I chose from a booklet of over thirty activities I’d say four that I’d like to do this term and depending on spaces and such I’ll get two of them. What I picked for this term was Bee Keeping (environ), Aerobic Kickboxing (phys), Amnesty International (global) and Ceramics and Sculptures (arts). So we’ll see which two I get and I look forward to writing about them!

As you can see today I’ve had a lot of free time to type up three posts. I doubt I’ll have a day like this when my classes officially start which is tomorrow. So glad to get some done!
