Service
Creativity
Blending ASC
Activities may count for more than one aspect of ASC. Art galleries for the
Hayah community, value-based play writing for children, designing a
website for an NGO are all examples of creativity and service. An athletic
student coaching younger children counts for activity and service.
Participating in a marathon or gallery organized to build awareness and raise
funds for charity are other examples incorporating service.
Requirements
Students can earn the specified credit for ASC through grade 9 and grade
10 by successfully accomplishing all the requirements set by the Hayah ASC
program. In grade 10, students are required to achieve the following
requirements:
1. Balance: Focus on two strands of ASC – one in each semester.
The third remaining strand will include a new skill to be learned
through formal coursework. (Eg. A course in digital skills for
creativity, learning yoga for activity or teaching literacy for service).
By the end of the year, all three ASC strands should be covered.
2. Commitment: Pursue each experience in semester 1 and semester
2 as a weekly commitment
3. Records: Keep a portfolio of their weekly experience by uploading
journals and evidence every week on ManageBac, the online portal
for ASC.

choices of ASC experiences that they will commit to in grade 10. This is
called the ASC Plan. Every student should set an ASC plan thay includes
all three strands (activity, service and creativity) distributed as follows:
Please watch the tutorial on ManageBac which explains how to upload your

Supervision
Any ASC experience must have a supervisor. This is usually the person who
oversees your experience such as your sports coach, your music teacher, or
the charity NGO manager. The supervisor cannot be a family member.
Family & social duties (such as taking care of grandmother or donating
money for charity) are not accepted as ASC activities.
