CAS Reflections of Grade 9 F

On the 18^th of November, 2013, the class of 9 F had their CAS activity. The aim of this activity was to talk and interact with the ayahs and the drivers of Oakridge International School. The students walked all around the school and spent time with the ayahs and filled up the questionnaire given to them. Then later, they interviewed the drivers, taking pictures and capturing these fun memories!

Each student interviewed 2 ayahs and 2 drivers asking them about their basic background and their children/child’s education. The students asked them if they needed any financial support for education, marriage, housing facilities, etc. The students found that most of these drivers or ayahs didn’t have houses to reside in. They needed money for their children’s education and marriages. Most of their children had only studied till 10^th grade and some even less than that!

We as a student community hope to help the drivers and ayahs. This particular CAS activity made the students more open-minded and helped them understand the situation prevailing around them.

Here are a few of the students’ feelings about this CAS activity:

“It was fun! We really enjoyed spending time with the drivers as we normally don’t talk to them outside.” Manasa

“It was an amazing activity.” Shreya

Overall, this was a fun activity and all the students enjoyed a lot.
