Co-Curricular in High School

CREATIVITY, ACTIVITY, SERVICE & LEADERSHIP (CASL)

During the school year, High School students will follow the ISK CASL program to initiate and reflect upon sustainable community projects that are mutually beneficial. These projects cultivate both personal and community growth, while building recognition of human interdependence.

All High School students are required to participate in all three strands of CASL throughout the year.

At least one sustainable service project, and
At least one activity experience, and
At least one creative experience, and
Self evaluation and reflection for each experience undertaken

A few examples of the programs that comprise our extensive HS Co Curricular program:

HeArts: Healing Arts

This is a student led and initiated service learning program that involves students helping children express their creativity through different forms of Arts, ranging from drawing and performing to singing and dancing. We offer a range of activities and projects each week for local Kenyan children to enjoy by expressing their creative minds and understanding the value of arts in enhancing our well being.

Greenhouse

Greenhouse is a High School based Service Club focused on creating a sustainable community through innovative gardening techniques. This is done through practical work as students grow crops on campus. We develop perseverance, planning, patience, and practical skills as students work hard to maintain the gardens. We operate the greenhouse, which is equipped with a biogas digester, drip irrigation, grow beds, a hive of stingless bees, and future plans for aquaponics and further ways to utilize the biogas digester.

Currently, we are working hard in maintaining the greenhouse and making small improvements around the area. Having the greenhouse be a welcoming space full of big, magnificent plants is important for the club.

Global Issues Network

The Global Issues Network (GIN) empowers our students to collaborate locally, regionally and globally in order to create project based sustainable solutions for global issues. GIN is dedicated to being aware of the major 20 global issues that our world faces in the 21st century and empowers students to take action as leaders, team members, community advocates and problem- solvers.

Interact

Interact is an international Rotary sponsored service organization for students between the ages 14 and 18 years. Interact stands for ‘International Action’ and gives students an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and personal integrity, demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others, understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work and advancing international understanding and goodwill.

Hand Out

Hand Out is a project lead by a group of ISK students who use 3D printing technologies to create mechanical prosthetic hands for individuals who need them in underprivileged communities. The club is part of a larger global network known as Enabling the Future (ENABLE). Member groups of this network, which are set up in different locations worldwide, are known as chapters. In early 2017, ISK students 3D-printed our first prototype prosthetic hand and shared it with engineers at ENABLE, resulting in our club becoming the first and currently only ENABLE chapter in East Africa.
