Evidence, Evidence, Evidence

It's great to see so many of you have green flags and have started getting involved in CAS experiences.  The next step it to start adding evidence.  Even if you have an approved experience with a good description and goals, it will not help you to get a completed CAS portfolio unless there is evidence of your participation.

Evidence can be:

• photos
• schedules
• files with planning/minutes of meetings and other documents
• oral recordings
• film recordings
• emails
• gym attendance records
• supervisor comments
• links to websites/blogs/Instagram accounts 
• reflections - written/oral/pictorial

The above list is not exhaustive - use your imagination but make sure that you have evidence.  Without it your portfolio will not receive a 'complete' at the end of IB and you will not get a diploma.

Adding evidence as you go along is much easier than trying to find it a year later.  

Some of you will have red flags on your reports at the end of the term.  Make sure to take the time to remedy this situation.  You will find my comments on your portfolio.  If you have been asked to make an appointment, do so as soon as possible if you wish to get a green flag.
