OVER 50 
CAS EXPERIENCES 
PER WEEK

Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) gives our students an opportunity to enhance their personal and interpersonal development by learning and engaging with worthwhile and enjoyable experiences. 

Participation in the CAS programme encourages our students to try something new, or develop their special talents while improving their fitness, awareness of others, and the ability to work cooperatively.

The benefits of CAS include:

  • enjoying new experiences, building friendships, and learning new skills
  • collaborating with others to find creative solutions
  • strengthening language and communication skills
  • growing personally through innovative challenges
  • connecting with and learning from diverse cultures
  • making a positive impact on communities and improving lives

With over 50 Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) experiences a week, students can create a personalised CAS programme, which aligns with their interests or skills. The emphasis should be on creating a balanced programme of creative, active, and service opportunities.

You can select a minimum of 3 experiences per term

CAS Project

As an IB student (year 1), you will complete a CAS project as part of your studies. This encourages you to reflect on your experiences and explore how you have met the skills and attributes of the IB learner profile.

The CAS project challenges you to show initiative, problem solve, demonstrate perseverance, and develop skills in cooperation and teamwork. It also encourages you to become open-minded and self-aware, through your engagement in globally significant issues.
