Welcome Students of 2017 - 2019

Welcome to CAS 2017 - 19.  I am sure you are all going to have some wonderful and educational experiences as part of CAS and I look forward to meeting you all and discussing your ideas.

On this blog, I will publish regular updates about CAS opportunities as well as good examples of CAS.  

You can find all the important documents and links on the pages at the side.  This includes:

•  an electronic version of the CAS handbook
• the CAS profile form (you need to take a copy if you wish to edit it), 
• the CAS stages document that you need for projects (once again, take a copy so you can edit)
• the letter for experience supervisors - this is a Pdf so just download a copy.

Over the next few weeks we will be learning more about what CAS involves and how you can develop your CAS portfolio.  Most of this will take place during advisory time.

Everyone will be called to an initial CAS interview in September/October.  You will be expected to have completed your CAS profile form and uploaded it on to ManageBac under documents on your CAS portfolio.

You can read posts from previous years to see what other students have done - just note that posts older than August 2017 refer to an earlier version of the CAS guide.

I am looking forward to working with you all and hope that you will find CAS and enjoyable and enriching part of your IB Diploma Programme. 


CAS is about getting out there and learning by doing.  There are opportunities close by - you just have to keep your eyes open!
