ACSians In Action

The ACSians-In-Action (AIA) programme encourages Year 5 students to develop the entrepreneur dare by allowing them to take ownership in an overseas service-based project. The programme is non-compulsory.

As part of the pre-trip planning, students independently conceptualise and present their project proposal to a school panel. Students liaise directly with the beneficiaries to truly understand how they can contribute towards their needs and aspirations, making for a much more meaningful exchange. In one instance, students sold badges and stickers to raise funds to buy cows!

Teams whose projects have been approved typically embark on service learning trip in Term 3 or after their examinations with their teacher-advisors.
