Finishing an Experience

There are some people who have already come to the end of an experience.  Once you have finished you need to do the following:


  • check that you have added enough evidence
  • check that you have added reflections
  • fill in the CAS questions                       ↘↘↘↘↘





  • Make sure that you explain how you have reached the learning outcomes in your answer to the CAS questions.  
  • Send a 'request for review' to your supervisor
  • Make sure that you have a correct email address otherwise it won't work. If you don't have an email address for your supervisor, you can print it out and give it to the supervisor.  Once it is filled in, scan it and add it to your evidence and reflections.
  • Once all that is done you should get a green tick next to the experience to indicate that it is complete. You will not be able to make any changes to your experience once that green tick appears so make sure you follow the steps in the correct order.

Do you still have a red flag?

The deadline has passed for having started your CAS portfolio.  If you do not have approved experiences by now, you will have been sent a message to book at time for a meeting with me.  If this issue is not resolved before the break, I will need to contact you parents to inform them that you are in danger of not qualifying for the IB Diploma.

Next step

After the Autumn break I will be expecting everyone to have started adding evidence and reflections.  

Project deadline

Everyone is expected to have uploaded a CAS stages document for the planned project by the beginning of December.  

Some service ideas

If you are having trouble finding service ideas you can try Zooniverse.  There are lots of on-line research projects you can get involved in.

Another good site with community science projects all around the world is Scistarter


Otherwise try volunärbyrån.  Don't worry if you don't speak Swedish.  They have some jobs in English and even if it is Swedish, ask a Swedish speaker to help.  Most organisations just want volunteers - they don't mind if you don't speak Swedish.  One of our students has already volunteered at a Redcross Shop.

Do you like to bake?  Jul in Gemenskap needs Christmas food - home baked cinnamon buns, ginger cakes and small biscuits


Still need ideas?  Come and see me!
