CAS Plan

A tentative plan for my IB CAS. It will be interesting to see how the actual activities differ from this...
 
Creativity

• Will join Senior Debating, and hope to make the team that competes in the Sing Tao tournament; our school's English debating team are multi-time champions. Haven't done debating in 4 years, so wish me luck!
• Continue studying Piano performance. Failed my ATCL exam last year by just a few marks, unexpectedly, so I'll retake it in Nov/Dec; then, I'll move on the LTCL level pieces and concentrate more on Hong Kong Schools Music Festival competitions. 

Action

• HKAYP Silver (also has Creativity and Service elements), after having attained Bronze last year (2008-2009). Our school is authorised to offer the HKAYP program. HKAYP is part of The International Award.
• Continue swimming training with PSC and race with the school team at HKSSF, and also compete in HKASA D2 Short Course meet, 15-16 age group, in January 2011, and attempt to break the school record for 50m butterfly, preferably by Fall 2011. Current record for Long Course is 27:## and for Short Course 28:51 (strangely enough, the SC time is slower), while my personal best is an abysmal 32 from October 2009.

 Service

• I'll tutor my friend Adrian in GCSE Economics. 
• My English teacher this year (year 11, or grade 10) has also offered to let me help in some lower-year classes.
• House captain duties, as I'm deputy house captain for Schweitzer.
• I'll volunteer for WWF or Salvation Army in the summer of 2011

Project

I plan to collaborate with a classmate to start up and run a Poetry Slam at South Island School, competing in it as well. Maybe an annual or biannual event? "Creativity" and "Service" will be the two CAS areas covered. If this idea won't be allowed as my project, it'll become just another activity, with my project being something else I'll have to think up later on.
