As part of our CAS programme over the last few weeks students have organised an ‘ABIS winter olympics’, though of a less physical nature involving no snow. Activities have included a quiz, a word game and a skit, plus team challenges involving obstacles. Students were separated into teams and the teachers formed a team of their own. Not surprisingly, the teachers won but then one must consider that their combined age was about 4 times more than any other team and almost the same as the entire secondary school! Next year students may implement a handicap system to make it more even. On behalf of everyone, well done to Valerie and James for taking the initiative and making this a fun and fruitful event and a perfect example of a student led CAS activity. The levels of engagement were high and it appeared that everybody got something from it. There are many more student led activities to come and we will report on these from time to time.
