More About the CAS Programme at Wells

As a core component for the IB Diploma Programme and Wells graduation requirement, Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) encourages high school students to be involved in activities as individuals and as part of a team that take place in local, national and international contexts.

Creativity, activity, and service enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development as well as their social and civic development, through experiential and service learning and a personal journey of self-discovery that recognizes each student’s individual strengths, talents, and purpose.

The component’s three strands, often interwoven with extracurricular activities, are characterized as follows:

• Creativity – Exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance
• Activity – Physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle
• Service ��– Collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need

The appreciation from the teachers and students there were palpable and filled the atmosphere with joy.��

The day at Santisuk began with an opening ceremony followed by four engaging activities planned by the Thai Club. There were 66 students present that morning, ranging from Kindergarten 1-3, and they were divided by class into 3 groups in circles. The activities were as follows: bag painting which allowed the children to unleash their creativity onto plain canvas bags, jigsaw puzzles that encouraged problem-solving and technical skills among the children, and lastly, the color scratching and origami activities entertained motor skills and interactive learning environments.

The children exhibited genuine curiosity and enthusiasm during these activities and showcased their creations at the end of our time together. It was a reminder of how small gestures can greatly influence younger learners. Following the activities, the teachers offered us a quick tour of the school which provided valuable insights into the daily routines, learning spaces, and the dedication of the teachers and staff.��

Our visit to Santisuk Day Care Center was a meaningful one that highlighted the importance of collective contribution by a community coming together, and inspired commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others. This experience emphasized compassion and unity to demonsratte that by working together, we can create a brighter future for all.

All the support from the community through the fundraising booths, activities, and donation boxes is truly appreciated and meaningful for all animals in need. Animal Week offered the community the ability to enhance the well-being of animals while also instilling values of respect and commitment. The ultimate goal for all animal-dedicated clubs and organizations is to ensure that stray and community animals have access to sufficient food and shelter and to create a safer environment for them. Animal Week also showed how collaborating with various clubs and organizations with similar causes can promote a lot more than a single club can do. A shoutout to all animal club members, leaders, and advisors who contributed to and played a vital role in making this event a successful and meaningful one! Wells animal clubs, Love Ocean Life, K9 Wells, and Wells Helping PAWS, will continue to emphasize and spread awareness about the importance of protecting all animals in need.����

The month of October is considered as Pinktober which is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” founded by the American Cancer Society in October of 1985. Pinktober serves as an international health campaign with the purpose of globally raising awareness about breast cancer. Throughout October, the SerWIS club, a club dedicated to community service, planned various activities and events to celebrate Pinktober.��

SerWIS club members opened up Pinktober by making morning announcements at the beginning of October. A brief description of the purpose of the celebration of PINKtober and facts about diagnosis were shared with students and teachers. Once a week, SerWIS members made morning announcements about early prevention, survivor stories, and statistics about breast cancer. The purpose of these morning announcements were to inform and spread awareness among the school community about breast cancer knowledge that is not widely known.��

On top of verbal announcements, SerWIS organized “Pink Shirt Day.” Pink has been chosen as the color of breast cancer awareness by Susan G.Komen for the Cure Foundation since the 1990s. All students and teachers were encouraged to wear pink shirts or items to celebrate PINKtober.��

Moreover, SerWIS encouraged the school community to contribute in improving research for breast cancer and supporting the diagnosis by donating to the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation through a donation box in the lobby. Over 1000 THB of donations have been donated to Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation. SerWIS Club would like to show appreciation to everyone for your donations. Thank you very much!��

In addition, Wells SerWIS club engaged in an inter-School initiative with ICS and NIST International Schools to celebrate PINKtober through a connection made at the ServICE Conference earlier in September. The purpose of this musical event was to spread awareness about breast cancer and the theme of ‘Harmony in Health’ through music, celebrating physical & mental health, and uniting international schools with the mission to promote and advocate for quality health. Along with wearing Pink shirts, SerWIS held PINKtober Music Festival with the theme of “Harmony in Health,” during middle and high school lunch periods on Friday, October 27, 2023.

For Primary school, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students danced along to the song “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten to show positive and powerful energy and honor people fighting against breast cancer. For middle and high schoolers, Mr.Richie, one of our talented teachers, played a guitar and sang along to the song “Soon You’ll Get Better” by Taylor Swift to celebrate women empowerment and breast cancer awareness. Students gathered in the coliseum wearing pink shirts or ribbons to show their support. As a product of this collaboration, a Pink Music Movie�� consisting of pictures and videos of students showing “Harmony in Health” from 3 different international schools was produced.
