Learning Outside the Classroom

Asdan Certificate in Personal Effectiveness

 Students in year 9 are working towards achieving the ASDAN award for a Certificate in Personal Effectiveness. Some students will achieve this at level two which is equivalent to a GCSE B grade.

One of the modules asks students to think about their own beliefs and values. In recent weeks students have worked as part of a group to raise money for a charity of their choice. They have spent time researching their charity and thinking of fundraising ideas. On Wednesday they held a small event in the hall and managed to raise a total of £60 in just half an hour! The money will be donated to their chosen charities; SSNAP, Comic relief, OXFAM and Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital.

 

Sudents also visited the Oxford Jewish Synagogue to learn about the beliefs and values of members of the Jewish community. They were warmly welcomed by Sarah Montagu and spent the afternoon developing their understanding of different aspects Judaism.
