New CAS guide for grade 11 students

Welcome to grade 11 students

This blog is where I will publish information about CAS opportunities as well as good examples of CAS.  This year there is a new CAS guide so information in previous posts can be out of date.  Here is a link to the CAS student handbook for students graduating in 2017.

You will all have received a copy of the SIS CAS Student Handbook.  You can also find an electronic version of the handbook by following this link: CAS - student handbook 2015-17

Links can be found in the handbook to help you find ideas for CAS experiences and contact people.

Over the next few weeks we will be learning more about what CAS involves and how you can develop your CAS portfolio.    Most of this will take place during Advisory time.

Everyone will be called to an initial CAS interview in September.  You will be expected to bring your CAS profile form and your CAS proposal form (signed by you and your parents).  Once we have looked at them together you will be given an electronic version of the forms to fill and upload on ManageBac in your CAS folder.

All links to the forms/documents that you will need can be found under pages to the right of the posts.

Want something to get your started right away?  September 21st is International Peace One Day. There is an organisation that has loads of ideas about what you can do to promote this cause.  http://www.peaceoneday.org/ It includes playing football, dancing and many other fun ideas.  Check out the site and see if you can get something together before the 21st.

I am looking forward to working with you all and hope that you will find CAS and enjoyable and enriching part of your IB Diploma Programme.
