Community and Service
Community and Service is an integral component of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program. It is the service volunteered by an individual to an organization for the benefit of the community. Starting within the classroom and extending beyond it, Community and Service aims to encourage responsible, caring participation in the local environment and in the wider world. Our emphasis is on examining our roles as citizens in our local and global community; instilling a sense of personal responsibility with others and within ourselves; and developing the skills and attitudes needed to make a positive contribution to society.
At Carson, Community and Service is a multi-faceted program. For the 2011/2012 school-year (September - June), as a requirement of the Middle Years Programme, all students must complete 10 hours of community service. Community and Service hours can be collected for completing any service volunteered by a student that benefits the school or a community group. The activity can be completed within the school or in the larger community.
Located outside the counselling office, the community and service job board holds staff and outside agency's requests for student volunteers. These tasks can be completed for service hours. Documentation of student' C&S hours are collected and recorded by Block 1 teachers at the start of every month. Students are encouraged to exceed the minimum required hours and doing so will qualify them to compete for a Carson service award.
Another aspect of Carson ’s Community and Service Program are our school wide activities. Students will be informed about these throughout the school year and can choose to sign up for any activity of their liking and interest. These activities will be organized by Balmoral staff and may involve students participating outside of school hours.
If you have any questions regarding the community and service aspect of Balmoral's MYP program please contact Mrs. Tara Gellatly via email at |
