CAS is...

CAS experiences should:
 

  • Be real, purposeful activities
     

  • Be based on a personal interest, skill, talent or opportunity for growth
     

  • Have a personal challenge - tasks must be challenging and be achievable in scope
     

  • Include thoughtful consideration and use of the CAS stages (investigation, preparation, action, reflection, and demonstration)
     

  • Have evidence and reflection on learning and personal outcomes
     

  • Fit into one or more CAS strands

     

  • Fulfill one or more of the learner outcomes

 

 

 

CAS is NOT
 

  • Any class, activity or project which is already part of the Diploma Programme
     

  • An activity which you will be paid (unless this benefit is passed on in full to a worthy cause)
     

  • Doing simple, tedious and repetitive work (ex: filing, shredding paper, grading papers, etc.)
     

  • A passive experience, such as a visit to a museum, the theatre, art exhibition, concert or sports event, unless it clearly inspires work in a related activity in which you are already engaged
     

  • All forms of duty within your family
     

  • Religious devotion
     

  • Activities which cause division amongst different groups in the community
