Civic problem-solving and grassroots project design guide Grade 10 Community Service Learning in Term 3, laying out 17 fieldwork practical periods in 10 pages.
Students work in cooperative project teams to identify service gaps within the school neighbourhood before formulating sustainable ventures based on community project frameworks.
Teaching progresses through four core stages of Social Entrepreneurship:
- Foundations and Sensitisation: defining social enterprise pillars (people, profit, practice, and planet) and drafting awareness flyers for school stakeholders in weeks 1 and 2.
- Need Assessment and Opportunity Selection: gathering observational data with field notebooks, brainstorming interventions, and scoring candidate ideas with decision matrices during weeks 3 and 4.
- Enterprise Planning: detailing service specifications, charting competitor services, and presenting venture blueprints for community buy-in in weeks 5 and 6.
- Resource Mobilisation: assembling low-cost project budgets, improvising tools from locally available scrap, and logging physical asset inventories across weeks 8 and 9.
