CAS with EL
From 2023, all Grade 11 students are requied to take/lead an EL activity, which can be counted towards CAS. The activity will be once a week on Friday Period 6.
What is EL?
In Seisen, EL stands for Experiential Learning, which runs every Friday period 6.
Experiential learning is a dynamic and hands-on educational approach that emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and skills through direct, immersive experiences, that are outside of the traditional school curriculum. Experiential learning encourages active engagement, problem-solving, critical thinking, and reflection.
