The secondary workshop will focus on the connections that students would make in doing service as action and learning that connects into CAS in the DP. For students to be accountable and caring citizens of the future, they need to engage in building service throughout their formative years in the school. The workshop would provide opportunities for parents to understand how the school runs this in requirements to the IB standards, and how the community can be a resource and support for our students. This workshop will be led by our Service as action coordinators, Ms. Bella Yang and Mr. Hakim Halim and our CAS coordinator, Ms. Jasmin Sun.
