We are now in the last year of your IB programme. You are going to start to have lots of deadlines to meet. Make sure you are on top of your CAS so that it doesn't add to your stress levels. A little attention to the CAS portfolio every week, will prevent it from eating away at your time in the long term. Keep up-to-date with reflections and evidence. Be selective about what you keep going and what you finish off.
Finishing off experiences
- Finish off all experiences that you are no longer involved in.
- Plan to finish MOST of your experiences before the end of the term
When you are finished you need to:
- Check that you have adequate evidence
- Check that you have adequate reflections
- Make sure that you have reflected on the learning outcomes you chose for this experience
- Complete the CAS questions
- Get a supervisor review
18 Months of CAS
- You must have at least one CAS experience that continues until you have reached the end of 18 months.
- You must have 18 months continuous participation in CAS.If your first experience started in September 1st 2017 and you did CAS in the summer your end date will be March 1st.
- If you did not do CAS in the summer - your end date will be April 1st.
Interviews
You must do 3 CAS interviews. We did one last term.
- Second Interview - September 2018
- Third Interview - February/March 2019
Learning Outcomes
There are 7 learning outcomes.
You must have evidence and reflections showing that you have met every one of the learning outcomes.
You will be asked to show this in an illustration or written text. You will see examples of how to do this. You must bring this to your final interview. If you do not have it, you will not complete CAS.
February 2019
You should have one or 2 experiences open and everything else should be completed.
If you plan ahead you can take it easy with CAS in 2019 and concentrate on all the other stuff!
