Pre-IB Students Bring Festive Cheer Through CAS Creativity Projects

As the Christmas season approaches, Pre-IB students at The British School Warsaw are embracing the spirit of giving through their CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) programme. Acting as “Santa’s little helpers,” they’ve been busy designing and crafting festive decorations, gifts, and greeting cards that will be featured at this year’s highly anticipated Christmas Fair.

But behind the glitter and ribbons is something more powerful: a display of student initiative, creativity, and purpose-driven learning.

Creativity in Action: Learning Through Making

In the CAS Creativity strand, students explore how personal expression and innovation can lead to positive impact. For the Christmas Fair, this has taken shape in the form of:

• Handmade Christmas cards, each uniquely illustrated and written
• Seasonal decorations, including ornaments, garlands, and gift tags
• Festive baked goods and DIY craft kits (coming soon!)

Every project is more than just a festive item-it’s a reflection of collaboration, planning, and problem-solving.

Building Community, Supporting Causes

All proceeds from the Christmas Fair will go towards charitable initiatives chosen by the student community, reinforcing the Service component of CAS. This initiative not only supports those in need, but also helps students connect their efforts to a greater sense of purpose and global citizenship.
