WELCOME TO CAS

CAS is both challenging and enjoyable – a personal journey of self‑discovery.

"Each student has a different starting point, and therefore different goals and needs, but for many their CAS activities include experiences that are profound and life‑changing."

CAS - 3 strands:

Creativity—exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance
Activity—physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle
Service—collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need
