4. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.

Coming to the end of G11 saw the end of my tenure in the humanities magazine. It was something that I felt very passionate about doing, and thoroughly enjoyed my opportunity to write a double feature for the first magazine of the year. We were able to show commitment and perseverance in the way that we were actively creating material for the magazine while also spending time selling and distributing it to the school public. I think we recognised well the role we had to play as the creators of the magazine, but also those who were distributing the magazines around too. It was perseverance and commitment on our part to spend some of our own time, especially during events such as the 3 way conferences, to sell the magazines to parents and students alike.

7. Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions.

Finally, I think the biggest lesson learned was recognising the ethics of choices and actions taken, especially on a public forum like a magazine. I was really able to understand the conditions that are placed on a writer in terms of how they have to be aware of their target audience, while recognising certain sensitivities that might not be as explicitly on the surface as others. There are certain nuances when it comes to sharing one’s perspectives in a magazine, and it was really helpful to understand the different ways in which certain language might evoke different responses from different people.
