The 2019 version of the IORB - get help here

Hack#1 Become devoted to your IORB - make your IORB tab open automatically on all your devices, download and use the APP.

log often, log well. never finish a term break holiday without being completely up to date.

Hack#2 Understand the IORB algorithm for calculating your "% complete":

One Hour every 7 days, or:

Two Hours every 14 days, or:

Four hours every 28 days.

It really is essential to log your activities correctly on the IORB. Please - If you do not understand this - ask for help early!

Why do we log? = When finalising your Award, the State office review your entries.

How are you making it clear that you are meeting the time / activity requirements, showing improvement and making progress towards your goals?

Compliant = "a full sentence that describes the activity undertaken and the progress towards the goal"

• Tuesday training for the pre-season game against St. Patrick's. Todays drills were improving our was counter attack.

• Drive to Mona Vale Beach, 28km. Continued driving safely and keeping to the speed limit.

• Senior choir rehearsal. Preparing for my solo in symphony under the stars.

"Enrich" every 3-5 entries = how are you progressing towards your goals? if it is all looking brief and a bit the same, go the extra effort on every 3rd or 5th entry.

• Tough pre-season game against St. Patrick's. My tackling and passing have noticeably improved, and I will continue to work on my kicking.

• Return trip to Collaroy, 21km. Today my instructor commented on how my lane changing and situational awareness has really improved. I still fumble the occasional reverse park so I will continue to work on those next week.

• After weeks of practice tonight I felt really confident while performing. My assessor mentioned that I seemed to deliver the piece with ease, and was smiling for most of the time! I look forward to continuing to improve my timing and range.

Fail = simple 2-5 word descriptions: "tuesday training" or "game against St Pats"

Hack #3 - Is your goal worthy?

Remember that your skill is non physical & your service is not a skill :)

A goal should be <SMART> so really put some thought into this!

" to continually improve my cricket throughout the season. In particular I aim to improve my forward defence and running between wickets. This should see my average climb above 20 for the season"

Fail = "enjoy playing for the team" or "serve others"

Skill Fail = "serving the team"

Service Fail = "improve my leadership by.."

Hack#4 Enter the correct dates for Adventurous Journey Preparation and Training

PREP AND TRAINING - ACTIVITY tab

This date must be *after* your start date and *before* your practice journey

Hack#5 You should NOT have to create your own AJ event. If you are on our exped pathway, Dawesy can add you :)

Check that both Journey Assessor and Supervisor set to "Dawes" :)

Hack#6 Do not upload your own Journey reports- instead...

Step one: Use the appropriate pre prepared scaffold (find them at the bottom of each DEA exped page).

get it right the first time - Be sure to spell check and reread your draft. Your reflection section must be personal/unique.

Step two: Email your draft qualifying journey report (.docx word format - using the preferred file name) to dawesy for checking

Step three: Dawesy will upload the approved version direct to your IORB (this also gives your report a hidden digital fingerprint indicating it has met Award Leader approval). Clever!

Hack#7 What to do when winter or summer sport has finished - adding a new activity:

OVERVIEW tab

+ ADD ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY

Visit C10 to followup and be sure the activity is compliant and is approved.

Hack#8 If you need help - ask :)
