What is CAS?
CAS is about the education of the whole person, and, therefore, the three elements of Creativity, Activity and Service are interwoven. Together, they enable a student to recognize that there are many opportunities in life, away from formal academic study, to grow in knowledge of life, self and others. Participation in the arts, sports and community service activities encourages young people to share their energies and special talents while developing an awareness of the world around them and an ability to work cooperatively with others to improve communities and the world.
John Hall
CREATIVITY is imagination. Creativity involves creating or making something. It is your own, not something someone else will do. If there is no imagination involved, it is probably not creative. Music is creative if you are involved in writing a composition or score and then have it performed publicly. If you are following someone else’s creations, then it is not creative; it’s learning a skill.
ACTIVITY implies movement. Get moving. Try a new sport. You DO something.
SERVICE means you met a need in the community at large, you helped someone. Think: charity, environment, help someone, going beyond the school.
