CAS FAIR
This is been a special year for many reasons: We have passed a lot of time at home with our family, we have cooked a lot, we missed a lot of people, we have passed a lot of time with our devices, with the radio...But also is been a CAS year! And our Grade 12 students have worked hard to change this word or, at least, to make their contribution to it. For some of them is been a long a difficult path (some would say a torture;), for some of them (I hope) is been an opportunity to know themselves better and, for others is been an inspiration. For sure for all of them is been time invested in something they believed.
Usually we celebrate the end of our CAS program with a fair that Grade 12 organises, however, as a CAS coordinator, I didn't want to add them "extra work" in this intense period and I didn't want to create another online event (enough don't you think?) But I still would like to share with our community a small part, a split of their project. Again, this should be something that we all enjoy and, for this reason I asked them a picture to help us to "see" their project (with a few lines to explain it) and a creative reflection to, in a way, show themselves from inside. I don't hope we "understand", we like, or we say "wow", is more about: "oh! Look at this! I didn't know it!" or "nice"! That's all because CAS is not about showing up, is a personal growing path and I hope silences, pictures, quotes, poems...will help, will give us more than a screen.
A HUGE THANKS to the advisors: Without their time, their advises, their support, their other way of seeing the world and their way of believing in the students, CAS won't be possible.
Please, feel free to leave your comments and or opinions.

A family friend told me that the park near her house was always dirty so together we decided to clean it. We then looked into different creative ways to prevent people from littering and decided to do some signs.

The beauty of CAS
discovering new passions
growth as a person
(Gregorio Urbinati)
For two years CAS has been there,
In March last year, I went to volunteer at a large French NGO called ‘Les Restos Du Coeur’. There, I was given the opportunity to help at every stage of the charity, meaning the collecting of the food, the quality control, and the distribution. This charity however, does not just offer their service in terms of food provided, but they also help children and adults learn French through after school sessions which is why I decided to create games which could help those who needed to learn French or English.
My Haiku:
Learning languages
Equal opportunity
For population
Education
for flowers to grow
they drink raindrops and sunlight
that will make them shine

8th of March and Women's day
Dear all,
Because of the 8th of March, there will be some online events that, if followed and well reflected (maybe through a creative reflection) we could add as a CAS experience.
Some examples: https://www.instagram.com/p/CL1Qq2tnMca/
Of course, this system of following a group (at least 3 events from the same topic) can be added as a CAS. Please, contact me if you need any clarification.
