Grades 11, 12 – CAS trip, Skandagiri
Grades 11, 12 – CAS trip, Skandagiri
The annual CAS trip for Grades 11 and 12 took students to Skandagiri, in collaboration with Inme. The trip was filled with a variety of activities that included trekking, ropes course, zipline and organising a medical camp.
It was a 6-day long excursion, where each day started with either power-up exercises, a walk through the village or a visit to the temple. Post breakfast, the students were engaged with medical camp activities, that included making posters or inviting people for the camp. Learning Kannada, the local language, was an exciting challenge that allowed students to communicate directly with the villagers, fostering deeper connections.
Physical activities such as tree jumarring, climbing a friendship ladder, rope courses, ziplining, rappelling, and trekking took students out of their comfort zones, helping them connect with nature and develop resilience. Most of these activities were team activities which helped them learn how to communicate effectively and build trust with each other.
One memorable evening involved inviting students from the local school in the village to join in on the activities. They made them do the ropes course activity and rock climbing. Later, everyone had snacks together. Students gave them stationery from the stationery drive they had carried out in school, bringing joy and excitement to the participants, which left everyone feeling deeply fulfilled.
The medical camp was also one big success. All the students were divided into different groups. Each group had a certain disease to spread awareness about. There were two doctors and one dentist. There were students assigned to check the vitals of every patient that came in. This medical camp catered to more than 100 visitors, making it a huge success.
Overall, the trip was not only an adventure but also a chance to learn and grow in a holistic manner, leaving the students with unforgettable experiences and newfound knowledge.
