Creativity Action Service

Creativity Action Service
CAS, the heart of IB Diploma programme, is a cycle of experiential learning where the students plan, act, observe and reflect. CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development. At the same time, it provides an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of the rest of the Diploma Programme. A good CAS programme should be both challenging and enjoyable, 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. The MYP Community and Service (C & S) program ties in with the CAS program to be undertaken in the Diploma. Community and Service Learning is a compulsory component of IB MYP and helps our students connect what is learned in school through to the real world. This learning extends beyond the classroom allowing students to participate in the community where they live, paying special importance to developing their sense of social responsibility, improving those skills that will enable them to make meaningful contributions to the society. This blog is a way to connect and reflect.

Trip to River Yamuna on 21st January 2015

Trip to River Yamuna

On 21st of January, Grade 6 got an opportunity to visit different parts of the river Yamuna. A social worker from Sweccha Organization, Ms. Neha, ac-companied them throughout the trip and taught them about the river’s identity, course, origin and how it was treated by people. They also made some self-observations on the river source and its surroundings.

The students were taken to three different parts of the river- Palla Village Ghat, Najafgarh Drain and Qudsya Ghat and saw how polluted they were , also comparing the three parts from each other . It was an eye-opener for one and all. They saw how human was contributing to pollute the river and creating an ecological disaster. There after the students decided to do their bit by doing Shramdan.

After the tiring journey, the students of reflected upon reducing the waste they make by reducing, reusing and recycling. The trip culminated by prom-ising not to waste and pollute water sources. We hope that you also help in saving our Mother Earth.
