Through service and action, students develop the attributes of the IB learner profile by applying and extending their skills and knowledge in real-world contexts. Service opportunities arise from individual or group initiatives, curriculum connections or identified community needs.
We invite you to read stories from our Service Learning programs below.

On April 5 groups of 9th graders embarked on unique expeditions. These were journeys into the heart of their community, where they actively engaged with four inspiring institutions. Throughout the day, the students transformed from observers into participants, hopefully leaving a lasting impact while gaining invaluable life lessons.
A few ASW visual art students have decided to run an Empty Bowls project at ASW.
Some 140 litres of pumpkin soup were cooked at ASW using veggies from ASW gardens. The soup was donated to a variety of beneficiaries.
Over 50 pumpkins with a total weight of over a tone were collected at ASW this gardening season, with a total weight of over a tone.
