CAS Week
Since the implementation of the IB Diploma into the school, CAS Week has become a vital and predominant part of the high school culture in Sha Tin College, taking place in October each year. CAS stands for "Creativity, Action and Service", an important part of the IB philosophy and curriculum, and activities during CAS Week mostly revolve around these three themes.
Students from Years 7-9 take part in whole-year camps at various facilities around Hong Kong whereas students from Years 10-12 take part in CAS Week activities ranging from trips overseas such as Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Bhutan, mainland China or North Korea to Hong Kong- or school-based activities such as "Global Feast" (C), "Football Camp" (A) or "Teaching English in Local Schools" (S).

Famous quotes containing the word week:
“Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it’s often the momentary rainbows that we remember.”
—Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
