C.A.S.E.PORTFOLIO

MIDDLE SCHOOL & SENIOR SCHOOL

2014 -2015

Welcome to C.A.S.E.

The Creativity, Action, Service and Enrichment program is designed to add further depth to the learning experience here at BHA. It leads into the Principal’s Award programs and gives all of our girls a chance to either hone their skills in a certain area or just find something new that interests and inspires them.

Enjoy the program and remember that if you don’t get what you want the first go around then make an effort to enjoy and learn from what you are given.

You never know, we may just change the way you look at life.

Empowerment is about creating choice. It is about placing opportunity in front of people and giving them the power to choose to do.

Overview

The Branksome CASE Program covers four essential areas:

Creativity

Action

Service

Enrichment

All students are encouraged to be involved in each of the four areas of

our C.A.S.E. Program. Students are expected to maintain excellence

in their academic pursuits, whilst achieving balance through C.A.S.E.

activities.

It is our belief that all four areas of the program are essential for

our students and assist in providing balance and ensuring both

their experiences and portfolios are rich and rewarding. Year 7 - 10

students require a minimum of 3 Creativity, 3 Action, 3 Service and

1 Enrichment activity to complete the requirements for the BHA

Principal’s Award whilst Diploma students must meet the IBDP CAS

requirements.

The C.A.S.E Programme

The CASE timetable is as follows:

Some service Activities are ongoing and, although fitting into the

C.A.S.E. program, happen irregularly throughout the term. Some

Academy training may also be arranged out of the regular C.A.S.E.

blocks.

Enjoy your time at BHA. Take in the diversity of activities offered. You

may just find something that you love to do that you can continue to

take with you well after you have graduated.

I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it. -Kristin Armstrong (American Athlete)

The chq software has been employed to help create the complex lists

that come from such a vibrant program. You can access a ‘how to

make my selections’ document by clicking on the link.

Some C.A.S.E. like academies, councils, orchestras, and performances

are pre-selected for those students that have successfully tried out for

these activities. These will appear on your selection sheet when you

first log in

Clashes with these activities with other things that students might like

to do is inevitable but I hope all can access a wide variety of incredible

opportunities throughout their time at BHA.

The C.A.S.E. program is intrisically linked to the Principal’s Award in

grades 7 - 10 and the IBDP CAS program. Information about these

programs can be found by clicking on the links.

props for the production. We will then make the design come to life

for the production. When we are not working on the musical we will

design, create and install 2D and 3D Murals to be displayed around

the school. This is a co-curricular that promises a lot of very rewarding

hard work.

Basketball is a fast indoor game played with two teams of five players

each. The object of the game is to score as many baskets as possible

Enrichment

The Enrichment aspect of the C.A.S.E. program is all about extending

students in more diverse fields of study. Each enrichment activity

aims to push students to learn in a way that their regular classroom

experience, with the time constrains on set curriculum, may not allow.

It continues our underlying push for student empowerment, giving a

varied array of activities that may not fit under the more traditional

creativity, action or service umbrella, but are still of great interest to

our diverse student population.

It enables students from various year levels to mingle and learn from

each other whilst continuing to enquire, act and reflect on their work.
