C.A.S.E. enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal skills through experiential learning. At the same time, it provides an important counter balance to the academic pressures of the rest of the Links educational program. Experiential learning is one of the central themes of Links’ educational program and of C.A.S.E. Experiential learning involves much more than just an activity, it includes; planning, acting, observing and reflecting. Therefore, a good C.A.S.E. program is challenging and enjoyable and a personal journey of self-discovery for the student. This program is designed in a way in which it can help each individual student, meet his or her own personal needs, objects and goals. As seen over the years, C.A.S.E. activities include experiences that are profound and life-changing for children.
C.A.S.E. evidence of achievement is recorded in a personal portfolio. The purpose of the portfolio system is to provide students with an opportunity to organize their co-curricular achievements, and be able to also reflect on their progress.
As well as co-curricular activities, outside of the regular school hours, C.A.S.E. has been allocated periods on the school timetable for Classes 3 to 8. Students in these Classes will participate in short courses that have a duration of 1 Mark Order each. Although we do change our modules yearly, some samples of C.A.S.E. modules include:

• Food & Nutrition • Horticulture • Design and Technology • Wellness and Emotional Intelligence • Health, Safety and Environment • Public Speaking

Simple experiments, understanding processes, coming up with reasoning/conclusions and environment-related projects and visits.

Drawing designs, exploring different genres of music, creating art using different techniques and tools.

Encouraging exploration, modification and allowing students to pursue their own ideas and curiosities. Design and process circuits, navigation, creating simple machines, BOTS and coding.

With its integrated and holistic approach, S.T.E.A.M. allows students to identify cross-curricular connections between different disciplines and fosters a deeper understanding of concepts. It encourages students to think both critically and creatively and to collaborate to come up with innovative solutions. Through hands-on learning techniques and projects, students are also able to connect their learnings, back to their everyday lives in meaningful ways.
Additionally, today educators must prepare students for jobs of the future. Moving forward, our students will need to take on new technologies which will give rise to the need for new skill sets. With the aid of high-quality and the most up-to-date educational resources, the S.T.E.A.M. program aims to provide students with both the relevant knowledge and the in-demand skills they will need to thrive in this ever-evolving world. Some samples of S.T.E.A.M. modules include:
