Service
Service activities are those that benefit others and are unpaid and voluntary for the student performing the service. These activities must include learning opportunities and personal responsibility. The service undertaken in the CAS programme will allow the student to interact with others in his or her community or within communities other than one’s own. In either case it is imperative that the student work collaboratively with a member or members of the community through communication and consultation, ensuring that what the student does for the community is respectful of the needs, autonomy, and dignity of the community, and that the service is in no way harmful, disruptive, or divisive.
