The HHIS CAS Guide

Creativity is interpreted broadly to include a wide range of arts experiences as well as the creativity students demonstrate in designing and implementing larger projects. 

Throughout their time at HHIS, students are exposed to a huge variety of opportunities to express and develop their creativity, including dramatic arts, musical performances and art exhibitions. 

To enrich their CAS portfolio, students will pursue creative experiences that might include:

• participation in a band; 

• developing activities for other students e.g. leading an ECA;

• directing a stage production;

• developing an art installation; 

• designing the school gardens;

• painting a mural;

• learning to cook a particular dish;

The CAS portfolio really is a blank canvas waiting for the individual stamp of HHIS students.

Activity can include participation in individual and team sports, but also local expeditions and international projects. 

HHIS students are fortunate to live in a community that boasts easy access to the sea, whilst being in close proximity to the mountains. There is a huge scope for students to pursue water sports, mountaineering or trekking. 

The extra-curricular programme (ECAs) in the primary and secondary years is extensive, and IB students at HHIS can make full use of this during their CAS course. Students will have easy access to expert sports coaches, including yoga, karate, football, basketball, running, swimming and sailing. The school is also a short distance from some of the best golf courses in Asia, as well as world-class tennis, badminton, pickleball facilities and well-equipped gyms. 

Throughout their diploma programme at Hua Hin International School, students will have top quality sporting advice and facilities at their fingertips.

Service encompasses a host of community and social service activities. Some examples include helping children at local schools, fundraising and working with refugees. 

Hua Hin International School has a proud tradition of student-led service projects that make a real impact in the community. This is a true strength of the whole school community. The school has a strong relationship with many organisations in the local community and these will be integral to the service projects students will undertake during their CAS programme. 

The service element of CAS will provide students to make a real difference in the local area and offer their own skills to help and develop Hua Hin and beyond. More than this, by participating in service projects, students will benefit from a wider range of cultural perspectives that build upon and enhance their academic work in school. They will become truly open-minded, caring and principled members of society.
