I believe that CAS is an opportunity for students taking the IB to explore and learn new  skills outside the classroom, which is why it is so important to have sense of direction when starting the program. In this post I’d like to state my CAS goals for the years 2019/20 and in doing so create a space I can revisit for motivation and drive.The goals declared below are categorized under the 3 components of the CAS program that being: creativity ,activity and service.

Creativity 

I have always been someone who enjoys creating in the form of dance and visual art.Therefore I hope to continue to refine my technique in both areas this year. Specifically my dance goals are;

• to take part and place in at least two  Latin dancesport competitions.
• work on my ballet technique and aim to spend a minimum of 4 hours dancing a week

in terms of visual art I have been drawing portraits for quite a while and this year I would like to focus on realism. I’d also like to further explore watercolour as a medium and work on conceptual pieces throughout the year. In order to achieve these broad scale goals I will aim to;

• dedicate time toward creating a single piece of art every month and produce recordings of the creative process.

Additionally having signed up for COMUN as an ASA (after school activity) I hope to                develop my debating skills and participate in the annual conference.

Activity

For activities I wish to continue swimming and also take up track and field.In addition to my dance goals which cover both activity and creativity I would like to ;

• take part in at least one SAISA this year.
• train for 3+hours a week in a                                                                                                                                    sport(swimming/athletics

Service

Since service is integrated into the school’s curriculum my service goals are primarily centered around the service group I belong to: that is ,”Hope For Kids” which works with the children’s cancer hospial in Maharagama. Through the service group I hope to;

• join all the visits made by the group to the Hospital.
• work on communication skills and learn to work with children.
• explore ways and means by which I could help the patients in terms of their mental well-being and happiness.

and the end of my goals for DP1 2019/20
