Year 12 IBDP students took part in the annual Generation Walk this past week as a part of the Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) portion of their International Baccalaureate study.
This is the 7th year that the Generation Walk has taken place, and is a cooperation between BSN Senior School Voorschoten and a nearby home for the elderly in the Voorschoten community. Students picked up their guests from the elderly home and walked along the lovely wooded paths around SSV to a nearby tea house for a cup of coffee or tea and conversation. It was a chance for students to see the impact that a simple gesture can have for another person, and an opportunity to practice their Dutch while speaking with people several generations their senior. This exchange of perspective, stories and conversation was an important chance for them to give back and feel connected to the community.
“It’s really important as us as students to do something nice for someone else and expect nothing in return. CAS in IB is very important because it teaches you life skills… and gives you life lessons that aren’t going to be in a textbook, aren’t going to be in an exam but they build you and shape you into you who are.” – Year 12 IB Student
