SA Expectations

Students are expected to either:

• Make a sustained commitment to one activity, participating in it on a regular basis for a long period of time (once a week or once a month for the entire year, for example)

OR

• Participate in several different service activities throughout the school year, such as volunteering at different school and community events

OR

• Make a short term, time-intensive commitment to a specific project.

Students need to record their service involvement using ManageBac. They will also be expected to use ManageBac to reflect on the activities they have undertaken. Students can also choose to request reviews from their activity supervisors.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

• Activities that the student is being paid for (unless 100% of the profit is donated to a charitable organisation) are NOT considered suitable for service.

• All activities, whether carried out at ACS Egham or outside it, will only be considered as service if:

  • There is an adult supervisor who agrees to oversee the activity

  • The activity is approved by the MYP Coordinator or the MYP Service leader

  • At least one reflection is completed for each activity

  • The student demonstrates commitment to the activity

  • The student shows evidence of developing the activity and ensuring its success, where appropriate.
