Keep CASing

Today when I checked the CAS portfolios there was not much to see.  I get little red messages when people make changes and this week there were only 5!  Please keep 'CASing' as it is a requirement that you participate in CAS for 18 months continuously.  I know that a lot of you have been really busy with MUN - great work by the way - but don't forget to upload evidence and reflections about it.
When you have ended an experience, fill in the CAS questions and remember to show how you achieved the learning outcomes in the last question.  Three learning outcomes means you need to show how you reached 3 different outcomes.

Still looking for things to get involved in?

Freedom Day on March 17th is being followed by CNN and we are joining up.  Pyper in grade 11 is on board and looking for people to help with events.  The point of the day is to draw attention to modern day slavery and people trafficking.  There will be a meeting on Weds at break.

International Women's Day is March the 8th.  The Amnesty International group is looking at ways to highlight women's rights on this day.  They are meeting on Monday at break to discuss this.

Final Term - time to consolidate CAS

Finishing of experiences

Most of you have a few experiences that you have already completed.  Make sure you:

• have enough evidence to show that you actually did the experience.  
• have reflections covering the time you participated in the experience
• have at least one reflection specifically referring to each of the learning outcomes you chose for the experience
• fill in the CAS questions - pay particular attention to the last one that asks how you met the learning outcomes

When all that is done you can request a supervisor report

• If you have no supervisor it will go to me.  
• If you have another person supervising you, make sure you have the correct email address. 
• If the supervisor doesn't respond in week or so, speak to them and explain what it is about.
• You can resend the email if they can't find it.  
• If you can't get it done by email, print it out and take it to them to fill in.  
• You can then scan it and add it to your portfolio.

MUN - this week

Many of you have major roles in the MUN conference coming up this week.  Don't forget to collect evidence and reflect on your part in this experience.  Evidence can be photos, recordings, documents, articles, texts from social media etc.

If you have made MUN your project, don't forget that you need to have your CAS stages form filled in if it is to qualify as a CAS project.
