CAS Strand: Service

This Service enables Senior School students to identify and respond to an authentic need within our school community. Through this strand, members are given an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the school community through direct service. Senior school students understand that they the are not here just for their own learning but also, to help, care for and support others with genuine needs in our school community. This service is an invaluable avenue for many of our mentees to bridge the gaps in their learning given the fact that they are not having outside tuition.
