Through the CAS programme of non-academic activities we encourage students to:
- Explore new areas of creativity
- Further an existing interest
- Join projects that take them out of school into the community
- Learn to recognise and respond to the needs of people they work with, both in and out of school
- Evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses in different situations
- Take the initiative in planning and performing the activities that they choose.
Each MYP student is required to take a minimum of one hour of Sport per week and one hour of a Creative or Community Service activity. Students in the Diploma Programme take a minimum of one hour each of Creative, Sports and Community Service activities. Our
Sports activities are explored more on the sports page. Students are encouraged to keep regular notebooks about their creative or community service activities and are required to complete a self-evaluation for each activity each semester. Most students find that their activities offer a welcome and refreshing change from the rest of their school programme; senior students often feel that they need to take initiatives and responsibilities which are both challenging and rewarding.
