CREATIVITY
This aspect of CAS is interpreted as imaginatively as possible to cover a wide range of arts and other activities outside the normal curriculum which include creative thinking in the design and carrying out of service projects.
Creativity must be an active process as well.
Creativity is both active and deliberate, and it results in a tangible product.
Examples of Creativity:
- Science Olympiad
- Drama and Theatre (Cast, lighting and sound, set design, costume design and sewing, make-up)
