Progress Indicators Reset

This term, everyone begins without a progress indicator.  In order to get you green flag back, you will need to do the following:


  • Start adding reflections and evidence - there are some people with NO reflections or evidence.  These people have until January 29th to get going on this.  If you still have nothing on that date, your parents will  be contacted.
  • CAS questions must be completed for all experiences that were finished last term.  If this is not done by the sports break, you risk having the experience deleted!!!!!
  • You must have at least one experience for each of the C.A.S - that is creativity, activity and service.
  • You must have started a CAS project using the CAS stages of Investigation, Preparation, Action, Reflection and Demonstration.  All students are expected to have completed/participated in a CAS project during the first year of the IB  
  • All experiences must be approved - they will not be unless the goals and descriptions are clear.

What's happening this term?

During advisory, I will work with you on doing reflections as well as planning CAS projects.  I will also start interviewing again around the middle of the term.  At this interview we will see if you are on track and what you need to do to make sure that you qualify for the IB Diploma.  If I have concerns, I will call you to an extra meeting with your parents.  It is important that you do not leave your CAS until the 2nd year of the IB.  You will have lots of other things that take you time in the 3rd and 4th terms.  You must still be doing CAS but you should have done most of it by then. It is possible to work in CAS experiences over the summer, but not advisable to leave it all to that time.
