Community engagement focuses on a Community Service Programme that embeds the UN Sustainable Development Goals into service learning to foster civic responsibility and purposeful action. Community service is both physical and intangible, teaching students real-world skills and benefiting the wider community. Projects include visiting NGOs, planting trees, Sports Day for differently abled students, sheltering street animals, and donating books, toys, food, and ration. CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) is a core part of the IB Diploma Programme and is woven into the timetable to develop knowledgeable, principled, and caring individuals.
