REFLECTIONS

Reflecting on your Service as Action experiences is an essential part of the SA program and a lifelong skill that can help you gain perspective and take better decisions in the future. 

HOW TO WRITE REFLECTIONS

The golden rule of writing your reflection is to answer the following three questions for each Service experience.

• What did I do?

• How did I feel?

• What did I learn?

OTHER REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. What learning outcomes did you have for this experience? 

2. Summarise what you did in this activity/project and how you interacted with others. 

3. How successful were you in achieving goals that you identified for this experience? Explain.
