6. Blood Donation Location: Hall/Lecture Theatre Time/ Frequency: Irregular Blood Donation has been a traditional activity of the English School. For many years our students have been
participating in this programme with great enthusiasm, taking part in a very ambitious scheme which aims to
cover all blood needs of Cyprus on a voluntary basis.
The teachers-in-charge and the students’ committee organise two main activities:
a) Members of the Pancyprian Blood Donation and Information Committee, present the whole idea of
Voluntary Blood Donation in Cyprus and how successful this effort is. They also refer to other relevant
matters i.e. hepatitis B etc. This lecture is for the 6th Formers only and is given in English.
b) The actual event of Blood Donation takes place in the School, usually in the Hall, starting usually at
8.30 a.m. The duration of this event cannot easily be predicted; this depends on the number of donors
and the possible health problems the medical team of the general Hospital will face.
The benefit of organising the Blood Donation at the School is obvious; it gives the students the opportunity to
cover very urgent needs of their teaching programme e.g. tests, practicals, and then participate in this activity.

Occasionally, we may also have the chance to watch a film which explores issues like globalization, poverty, debt, the rise of emerging economies such as China and India, the current economic crisis and others.
Most importantly, the Society will hold regular surgeries during which extra help will be offered to all our students in every year and course. Such help may take the form of re-teaching certain parts of the syllabus that students would like to be exposed to once again to improve their understanding or revision surgeries to help students cope with the needs of either the mock or final exams. The overall aim of the surgeries is to address students’ individual needs in their courses. The Society will also organize trips to local businesses and other events such as lectures by various professionals on a number of issues. The above activities will prove to be extremely useful to all those students currently studying Economics and/or Business Studies either at IGCSE or A level. Such activities will enable students to understand how theory works in practice and how it often fails.

The presentations will have no competitive nature at all and will have the purpose of boosting the confidence and communication skills of the students while keeping all students involved, up to date with the continuous advances in the scientific world. Also, as an extension, we think it would be really helpful for students to have some lectures and discussions with actual doctors during some of the sessions and we know a general surgeon who would be willing to help.

53. PASYKAF
Year: 1-7
Venue: Science Building 2
Time/Frequency: Irregular
The Cyprus Association of Cancer Patients and Friends (PASYKAF) is a voluntary, non-governmental health
association, registered charity (no. 525). PASYKAF is dedicated to fighting cancer through education and
awareness and improving the quality of life of cancer patients and their families through advocacy and service
which are offered free of charge. We are solely on charity for fund raising for this great cause.
Listed below are our services and support programmes which are available in all districts across free Cyprus:
Home Nursing Care
Psychological Support to patients and relatives
Physiotherapy
Lymphoedema Service
Day Care Centres where patients can participate in groups and activities which provide companionship, friendship and support.
Transport Service to patients living outside Nicosia and undergo treatment in oncology departments and centres in Nicosia. Our bus service is available in all districts.
Promoting Public Awareness through campaigns, workshops and presentations in order to enlighten and educate the public about prevention and early detection of cancer.
These are provided across Cyprus to more than 5000 cancer patients and to their families every year, by a
specialized team of health professionals and staff, consisting of 70 people.
Joining the PASYKAF Charity Society is a fantastic opportunity for young people to not only offer something
back to the community, but to also be challenged to develop their entrepreneurial skills, creative skills and
confidence.
PASYKAF club will run monthly at the school, at irregular dates. At these meetings, the students will be given
a variety of different tasks to carry out individually or in groups, in school or at the comfort of their own home,
thereby completing the necessary monthly hours required for DOE. They will be monitored by one of our
PASYKAF people and a liaison with the school. These tasks may vary in nature, giving the students the
opportunity to develop a number of skills and to take part in various different activities.
They will be asked to assist in organizing, setting up and taking part in the various monthly charity events of
our organization, such as the autumn charity fun day at the Acropolis park, the Stasicratous Street Party, the
Christmas and Easter bazaars….
They may be asked to organize a “hot chocolate / lemonade and biscuits” break during school, for all their
fellow students to sponsor “Coffee with love” which runs all year round, by donating €2 each. Similarly, they
may be asked to organize a bake sale. This will involve finding and informing sponsors for the raw materials,
creating electronic flyers to inform their fellow students and the school via emails or the electronic boards and
finally, having their products on sale and convincing their friends to buy. In the same way, they may be asked
to promote the PASYKAF bracelets or promote ruffle or charity tickets amongst their fellow students. An
initiative may also be undertaken to collect second hand items by their fellow students in school for our
PASYKAF Charity Shops.
During our November and December Christmas Bazaars and our Easter Bazaars during March and April, we
will ask for their invaluable help, not only by assisting with the charity’s handmade Christmas decorations,
Easter candles and Easter eggs, but by also using their imagination in producing their own products, may it be
necklaces, bracelets and key-rings, cakes, biscuits and cup cakes, or even handmade decorations. They will
then be asked to set up their own stall, man it and sell their products.
One of the tasks students may be given could even be to put up a presentation-lecture to their peers or even
their own teachers and parents, on issues of prevention and early detection of cancer. This will involve their
own homework, (with our training and guidance as always), on what this charity is about and how we can help
ourselves with the prevention and early detection of cancer…… And this is where young imagination comes
in. Students will be challenged to find fun and exciting ways to do these presentations, so that they do not
lose their audience. May these be rap songs, a short theatre, a home produced video, or whatever else they
can surprise us with! This could be presented during the World Cancer Day (4/2), on the first week of February.
Throughout the year, we also arrange events such as Bingo nights, play days at playgrounds, theatre
performances and a number of cultural events, whereby students may take up the task to inform and convince
their friends and friend’s families to attend.
They may also be asked to update our contact lists, find new members and new sponsors, or analyze statistical
data, invaluable for our cause.
Alternatively, students may also come up with their own event, such as a theatrical performance with
collaboration with the school theatre club, a musical performance with collaboration with the school choir,
presentation and sale of their artwork, a Bingo event, a Backgammon competition, a school BBQ, a school
party, organizing an event during No-Uniform Day, or whatever else they may think of!
Come and join us for fun and creative volunteer work!

The aim of the club gives pupils a safe and fun introduction to Scuba diving, to get open water and advanced certifications, to
encourage safe diving practices and to educate pupils about an exciting underwater world unseen by most people. The club would be a chance for pupils to get involved in scuba diving as an activity with theory lessons, confined water training and open water dives. Pupils attending their first session will need to get the Open Water Scuba Diver liability release and medical questionnaire signed by a parent or guardian prior to the
session. Participants will be supplied a crew pack which includes a manual, a logbook (if they do not have one) and all necessary paperwork. Session by session we will teach participants both the practical skills vital for safe scuba diving and the theory needed to gain expertise in the sport. Experienced divers: Pupils already holding a Scuba Diving qualification would be welcome to join in. They could practice their skills with an instructor, and broaden their knowledge of diving by being introduced to more skills each session.

that the role of the Representative will require a commitment to attend all meetings and a willingness to
spend additional time researching different issues, preparing proposals and meeting with Students,
Teachers, non-teaching Staff and members of the Management Team. At the same time the experience is
