CAS at SIS-PIK

Creativity Action Service (CAS) allows students to follow their passions. CAS gives students the opportunity to give back to their community, and enjoy learning through experience. It provides opportunities for self-determination and collaboration with others, fostering a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from their work.

Each week we will feature one of our amazing JC students, and their latest CAS project. Please see Marjorie’s story below.

For my CAS experiences, particularly in the Creative strand, I am currently doing photography outside of school. I like to take pictures of Jakarta’s environment, as well as other countries when the school is on break. It is interesting to see how others put their thoughts and ideas to art and this is one of the branches of art. Every week, I would post something on my photography account on Instagram (@fotoalamarj)  to give my followers a glimpse of adventures and explorations whenever I go somewhere. Fortunately, one of my works was noticed and exhibited at the University of Indonesia. It was an honour to be acknowledged by one of the few famous Indonesian artists.

For my CAS project, I am co-leading Seni Bumi, which is a student-led non-profit organization which aims to spread global awareness through arts. In our case, we are raising funds by selling our merchandise T-shirts which would be used to fund art supplies to unprivileged schools and teach the kids more about art and to go green. I am also working on making an Eco-Social Design Exhibition (ESDX) which would be taking place this August. This exhibition would feature students from all around Jakarta, sharing their artwork/art pieces – paintings, make-up, dancing, singing, or photography.
