The other two elements are very important as well, as they provide access, balance and flexibility to meet individual students’ interests and preferences.
A combination of creativity, action and service is absolutely feasible.
Questionnaires will be used to find out about the students’ individual preferences, which will help to address the most suitable local institutions/organizations and thus facilitate their start into this new programme. However, it is intended that the students each choose their programme individually.
All activities will take place outside the classroom; remuneration for such activities will not be permitted.
An international education must include the active development of attitudes and values and should help to overcome boundaries, which are set by ethnic membership, social classes, religion, gender and politics. In order to live up to these high requirements, our students are also asked to do public service in the international community.
Current CAS activities
We have decided to cooperate with the international non-profit-organization Habitat for Humanity, which has set up ca. 300.000 houses for needy people in about 100 countries. We intend to do part of our CAS-programme in Hungary at the end of May 2011.
After the autumn break, we already started with our fundraising activities for the required construction material. The proceeds from our Christmas Fair helped us a lot to get closer to our goal of building houses in Hungary. The parents will cover the travel expenses.
Many, many thanks to those who have supported us so comprehensively!
