Service As Action

Service As Action (SA) is doing something to help make the world a better, more peaceful place! Service As Action is part of being a Middle Years Programme (MYP) student. Even more importantly, it is part of being a caring, responsible member of your school, local and global communities. In the MYP, service as action starts in the classroom and extends beyond it, requiring you to take an active part in the communities you are a part of.

At Walker, the expectation is that Year 1 students will complete 5 hours of service; Year 2 students will complete 8 hours of service, and Year 3 students will complete 10 hours of service + the required Community Project.

Note: National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) members must complete a minimum of 10 hours of service each year,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Read all of the questions BEFORE you start planning for service, so you know what you need to accomplish.
Complete the reflection form AFTER you complete your service.
IF you do NOT know the answers to the questions, DO NOT submit the form until you have an answer for each question.
Technology TIP: Answer the essay questions in a Word Document, then paste them into the Form when you are ready to submit!
