CASL & CAS

CASL

The CASL program is designed to prepare students for the CAS program which is a mandatory component of the International Baccalaureate Diploma program while simultaneously presenting students with an opportunity to display and reflect upon the importance and place of Lasallian Values within our school community.

CAS

CAS is at the core of the IB Diploma Program; supporting and facilitating experiential learning opportunities. The program's intention is to encourage students to push their limits and enjoy new and diverse experiences providing an invaluable opportunity for student growth.

The emphasis is on learning by planning and undertaking real tasks that have real consequences, and undergoing a personal journey of self-discovery whilst understanding one's interconnectedness with everyone else on the planet; that is also enjoyable.

Creativity covers a range of Arts experiences such as dance, theatre, music and art. It can also be interpreted to include creative thinking in the design and carrying out of projects.

Activity includes participation in expeditions, individual and team sports, and physical activities outside the normal curriculum with the intent of becoming healthier individuals.

Service-learning involves an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student. Service should not only be doing things for others but also doing things with others and developing a real commitment to them in a way that shows respect for the dignity of others. Service-learning involves understanding, interacting, and building links with individuals or groups locally and abroad.
