At ABWA we want to make community service an exciting
part of a student’s learning process. Service activities
should afford students an opportunity to learn about themselves
and the world around them.
Students from Grades 8, 9 and 10 will be expected to get
involved in service-oriented activities once a term, while
the younger children will be involved about once a year,
to give them exposure and to prepare them for more regular
service work in the years to come.
An orientation programme formally introducing students
to the regular service activities to be held through the
following year was held on 18 December 2009. Several organisations
with whom ABWA will be working collaboratively, made presentations,
providing valuable information to our students about the
various kinds of social work undertaken by different organisations
in the city.
Here is the community service plan in brief:

The nature of our service activities
will vary and depend to an extent on the needs and requirements
of these organisations. It is important that our children
take an active rather than a passive role in the activities
and they will be encouraged to brainstorm and reflect
on the work they do.
