CAS project reflection

The CAS project reflects all 3 creativity, action and service. During the CAS Project we had to plan and design games and speeches that revolve around the topic of Sustainability. After designing and planning we needed to speak in front of the whole school and present on the topic of sustainability, then finally carry out the activities to 4 groups of 50 students for 2 hours.

This project benefited not only the local community but also the global community. This is because we taught the students about how to be environmentally friendly which can help them learn to have a healthier, and greener lifestyle. This helps the global community because if everyone learns to be green, then the whole world can prevent the early coming of global warming. As well as aid the world economy, and lessen landfills, which protects the health of those around them.

The project consisted of researching facts and designing an activity with relation to “travel and traffic sustainability”. As well as present and carry out the activity. This is aimed at the third learning outcome. Together with my partner we created a poster and the obstacle course for the activity which helped us achieve the fourth learning outcome. The last outcomes we aimed to hit was the 6^th learning outcome, and because we researched and engaged with pollution and the effect of this on the earth, we engaged with an issue of global importance.

I hoped to become a better organiser, leader, and activity runner, and I did achieve all three, handling the 4 groups of 50 students helped me achieved my aspirations. One of the hardest obstacles I had to face was co-operation with my teammate, however in the end the whole plan still continues successfully, though it took a lot of effort. Another difficulty was controlling certain students, however to overcome this, I figured out a way to get the students to fear and respect me, after that, they behaved to a controllable level.

I learnt I could get students to behave and listen, as well as gain their respect to a certain level. I have become a better communicator as well as a result of this project. This project benefited the students because they became more aware of the changes they can make to help the environment, and it benefits the whole population as hopefully the students have learnt to become more environmentally friendly, therefore saving the world for future generations.

During the CAS project I achieved the third learning outcome " planned and initiated activities" as the whole CAS project is about planning and running activities and presentations for the whole student body. Planning included brainstorming ideas of a general topic for this activity, as well as planning strategies to get work finished. Moreover after planning we had to carry out the activities that we planned, for example the interactive game for the 200 students.

I have also achieved the fourth learning outcome " worked collaboratively with others", during the activity I had to work with teammates to create a presentation as well as an activity. Moreover work with teammates to run the activity. Together with classmates we brainstormed the title for this project, and together created the final script and presentation. Together we managed to finish the project and carry it out for the whole school.

Another learning outcome I achieved is the 6th " engaged with issues of global importance" because Sustainability is a global issue that needs to be addressed. The world cannot survive any longer if we continue our rate of fuel usage, food wastage, and not recycling. Presenting and looking into this issue is engaging with it.
