Hi
What a great start to the week. I think that is a great idea - I like that it is setting a positive culture from the start! Very Tony Ghaye, and I shall reflect on what I say and write and take this approach and try and talk achievements instead of activities. Thanks Isabelle
Best wishes all

Hi Janette,
You wrote: " evidence their extra-curricular activity"
What would it look like if instead they were to 'evidence their extra-curricular achievement(s)'?
Best wishes,
Isabelle

Subject: Accrediting LD for extra- curricular award scheme
Dear All
We are in the process of setting up a 'George's Award' that will enable our students to evidence their extra-curricular activity. I have been asked to include LD activity. My question to you all is how do you decide whether LD is EXTRA-curricular? We have the usual mixed bag of embedded and central activity, but it's really not that clear. I wouldn't expect a student to be awarded credit for attending something that is an embedded part of their course, or for attending central activity that they've been referred to i.e. the writing adviser. But what if they've gone to the writing adviser without a referral, or if they complete additional voluntary reflection and action planning about curricular activity?
Has anyone already tackled this issue- if so I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks
Janette
