Planning the project
To show how I planned to work with others, I have put examples of working with others in bold.
Practical issues
I discussed practical issues in my first meeting with Helen and Melanie on March 27th:

Meeting 1 Minutes 27 March 2024
Present: Helen, Owen, Melanie
Location: Zoom
Having a group which meets at lunch times to explore different comics and activities
– Possible members – PCB, CHP, ZL, ND as well as others
– The idea is to have a social group to help everyone to be more engaged
– Everyone could bring in 1 item related to the world of comics eg a figure, picture, card-game, board game, trump cards, Munchkin or just a comic
– Owen needs to keep records so could possibly record his introduction each meeting but not whole session
Trip to store to pick up comics for TH
– Will need 1-2 adults to go on trip but not to lead it, just support.
– Risk assessment is part of the content so Helen to send a template to Melanie to work on with Owen
– Afterwards, students encouraged to write reviews
Owen will be entered probably in August so will have the rest of term to carry out project. Trip after exams over.
Timescales
- April – Create promotional materials for the trip and the club / discuss options with students and staff
- May – Research comics to include, research different routes to take, food options etc.
- June – Pick a date for the trip, write a permission letter and risk assessment, set a budget for the trip, communicate with parents and students, organise the first meeting of the club
- July – Trip to take place, first meeting to take place
Promotion of the project
- I made two posters to promote the trip and the comic book club using Canva
How I will deliver the project
- I will communicate with teachers and staff to organise the trip
- I will take a leadership role on the day
- I will make sure to take photos on the trip
- I will work with my English teacher, Jo, who will be coming with me on the trip
- I will work with the school administrator, Shu, to get permissions and petty cash.
How I will evaluate my leadership development
- Speaking to students and teachers via email
- Meetings recorded with minutes
- A feedback survey at the end of the project
Public showing of the project
The comic book club will be the public showing of the work as this is where we will discuss the trip and what we learned about comics.
Risk assessment and health and safety
I used the school risk assessment template to consider the risks of the trip, I worked with teachers Jo, Melanie and Helen to identify the risks:
I shared this with relevant teachers at school.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Student gets lost while catching the bus | Student distressStudent is lost | All students particularly ones who aren’t experienced with travel | M | Make sure all students have mobile phones and can call school or JoMake sure all students know the route before handOD and Jo/Jason to take a register on the bus and at the destinationTake 1 bus to minimize risk of separation | L | |

Relevant Legislation
Risk assessments are undertaken in preparation for outings and visits. When out on trips,
