The extracurricular programme at St. Clare’s is one of three core subjects of the International Baccalaureate Diploma called Creativity, Action and Service (CAS). Each student is required to be involved in CAS activities on a continual and regular basis over the two years of the Diploma.
We believe that our activities programme is one of the ways in which education is taken beyond the classroom. The emphasis is on learning by doing real tasks that have real consequences and then reflecting on these experiences over time.
The CAS programme aims to develop a spirit of open mindedness, lifelong learning, discovery and self reliance. By active participation our students develop new skills on creative and physical levels. Our programme also inspires a sense of responsibility towards all members of the community.
Activities are led by teachers, visiting teachers and students themselves. They take place on weekday afternoons and evenings, and at weekends. Optional weekend and vacation trips are also arranged.
A number of activities are particularly concerned with the College's mission of promoting international education and understanding.
