CAS

CAS refers to Creativity Action Service. It is mandatory that IB Diploma students complete 150 hours of such activities to be eligible for the award of the diploma. The school provides opportunities to the students to work and gain experience in long-term activities such as Tribal School project, Orphanage project, Environmental Awareness project, etc. In addition, students also participate in cultural activities, adventure camps, dramatics, and symposiums.

 

The objective of CAS is to enable the IB students to develop a value system by which they enhance their personal growth. By participating in CAS, the students develop a spirit of open-mindedness, lifelong learning, discover and self-reliance.

 

Recently, students have taken up service activities at the Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development (CORD) under the guidance of Dr.Meera. Students help the CORD in their various service projects at the nearby villages. In addition, the IB students are involved in raising funds by helping the CORD in setting up a stall during Anand Utsav for the sale of handicrafts and other products made by the villagers.

 

IB students also engage in joint CAS projects with students of other schools. In the month of March 2009, IB students of CIRS had joint CAS activities at the school and at an orphanage at the Coimbatore city with the visiting students of the York school, Canada.
