Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) requires students to take part in a range of experiences and at least one project. These should involve real, purposeful activities, with outcomes that are significant to the individual. CAS activities represent an opportunity for experiential learning, and students are expected to reflect upon the activities they have carried out.
There aren’t prescribed projects or activities that students have to get involved with; we encourage students to be involved with activities they have initiated themselves. Here are some examples of activities that our students have participated in:
- Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award
- Running a first aid club
- Raising money for a school defibrillator
- Performing with the orchestra or choir
- Helping in a refugee camp, learning a new language
- Helping at a local primary school
- Helping a local Girlguiding or Scouting group
- Bell ringing
- Playing in a sports team and/or coaching younger players
