4. Ralene Gideon – CAS Coordinator
CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal
development through experiential learning. At the same time, it
provides an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of
the rest of the Diploma Program.
7. Service
Voluntary and unpaid exchange that has a learning
benefit for the student. The rights, dignity and
autonomy of all those involved are respected.
8. A student’s CAS experience should be both challenging
and enjoyable and a personal journey of self-discovery.
Each individual 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.
