DAWG

I have successsfully joined the activity DAWG which is held on Tuesday afternoons. So far we have organized a food drive for the primary and the secondary school. All the food and money donated will go towards the sterialization of dogs later in the year and the food will be donated to a dog pound around here in Colombo. The grade which donates the most in primary will get a pizza party while the grade who donates most in secondary school will get free tickets to the movie night which will be held on October 8th.

My first CAS aims.


First of all, what is CAS?
It stands for Creativity, Action and Service and is part of IB diploma. It is a program where an IB diploma student must undertake extra-circular activities in these categories.  This blog will show my participation and involvement in the CAS program over the next two years (2010-2012).
Creativity: “arts and other experience that involve creative thinking”
Action: “physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle, complementing academic work elsewhere in the Diploma Program”
Service: “an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student. The rights, dignity and autonomy of all those involved are respected”
(from OSC Creativity Action & Service Handbook 2010-2012)

For the moment my aims for this year are as follows:
1.       Try out for SAISA (South Asian International Schools Association) track and field and football.
2.       Participate in DAWG on Tuesday afternoons.
3.       Practice more motocross riding and join a race.
These are the aims I am sure I want to participate in, but there might be some more as the year progresses.
