Impact Programme Handbook

The Process (MYP Only) Students in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) are required to undertake a minimum of one service activity per semester (scaffolded or autonomous); the process outlined below should be used by students as a guide to help them appropriately address the formal requirements. The Steps 1. Students complete the Service Planning section in their Student Diaries. 2. Students have the proposed service activity approved by their House Tutor or classroom teacher. 3. Students complete the service activity and have the planning sheet signed by their activity supervisor. 4. Students complete the Service Reflection sheet, available on My Somerset Learning or from your House Tutor or classroom teacher. This form must be emailed to your Head of House or returned to your House Tutor or classroom teacher. The Stakeholders While students are required to take personal responsibility for meeting the compulsory requirements of the Middle Years Programme, they will require the support of other stakeholders; these key stakeholders and their responsibilities are outlined below. Heads of House / Classroom Teacher • Will discuss autonomous service proposals at Pastoral Leadership meetings or Year Level meetings to ensure parity of value and appropriateness of each service activity • Will monitor activities and ensure appropriate records are kept, including copies of service planning and service reflections • Will ensure that students service records are shown on Semester Reports • Will act as a liaison with the Dean of Middle Years in this area Dean of Middle Years / Service Learning Co-ordinator • Will discuss the concept of service with students
