Inspiring Engagement - Realising Potential

At CASS we believe the Arts play an important role in learning and engagement. Creativity is inherent and through the arts there is opportunity for insight, growth development and learning.  An underlying precept of the creative arts is that play is an integral component of accessing creativity.
