ASDAN

This year, some Year 9 and 10 students have embarked upon a new course provided by ASDAN, entitled Personal and Social Development.

It is a two-year accredited course and requires the students to complete seven units in total, covering a broad array of topics.

This term, the students have been studying for the Environmental Awareness unit. This involves them learning and understanding about how both individual and group human activity can have a negative impact on our environment.

We’ve also been looking into how we can individually and collectively positively introduce change. This has required the students to pledge to make a change in their own lifestyle for at least a month which will have a positive impact on the environment. Students have made pledges such as being in charge of their family’s recycling and ensuring no rooms are left with lights or appliances unnecessarily switched on.

Another part of their assessment is to take part in a community environment project. As a group we have agreed to take part in litter picking sessions both in school and in the local community; something which is much appreciated by all!

Well done, girls for making such a positive start to your studies, for being socially responsible and promoting positive change.
