Spanish Play Production "La Princesa Duermesiempre"

I was involved in the first Spanish play production of the school. The play was based on the book "La Princesa Duermesimpre" by Soledad Cordova, an Ecuadorian children's writer. It is about a princess who has nothing in life to be interested about so all she does is sleep. Her father does everything he can think of to entertain her but fails in every attempt. One day the princess goes to swim in the river and she finds an apple tree that requires her attention to survive. Each day she dedicates some time to her tree and as she does so, she falls in love with the royal gardener. The story ends when the King gives them his blessing with the apple tree blossoming behind them. In the play I was part of the backstage crew and I was also part of the play as one of the King's attempts to entertain the princess. I sang twice in the play, once as I tried to entertain the princess and at the end when the princess and the gardener proclaim their love in front of everyone.

CAS

CAS is an acronym for Creativity, Action, Service. This extracurricular aspect of the IB Diploma involves student engagement in social work or community service (Service), participation in sports (Action), and initiative in creative activity (Creativity). The purpose of CAS is to encourage students to go beyond academic pursuits and experience life outside school. Each Diploma candidate completes 150 hours of CAS related activities over the period of the IB course, where 50 hours each are contributed towards Creativity, Service and Action. Students may increase the number of hours in each category as there is no limit, as long as they complete at least 50 hours in each of Creativity, Action and Service to make the minimum 150 hours. The hours of work completed are documented by the school using official forms (CAS/AEF Forms) which are submitted to the IBO by January of the final year of the IB course. The IB Diploma is awarded only upon successful completion of CAS.
