To complete your Aims & Goals for CAS

Adding CAS Experiences To add a new activity, click the Add CAS Experience button. Students typically add experiences directly via their own accounts.

When adding a new experience, students are prompted to indicate:

• Experience name and description

• Approach

• Start and end dates

• Supervisor information

• Strand

• Selected learning outcomes

When students request a supervisor review, an e-mail is sent to the supervisor. Students can also optionally choose experiences based on pre-existing groups in the dropdown menu.

When everything is complete, click Add CAS Experience. After an experience is added, it is automatically submitted for approval. Students are also prompted to write a narrative description of their Aims & Goals.

This Timeline shows what strand of CAS each activity represents and

By Year 12 your CAS Portfolio should look something like this

Remember that your CAS portfolio needs to contain a reasonable balance of experiences between

Creativity, Activity & Service

You need to be engaged in CAS concurrently with your IB Diploma, which means from the start of Year 11 for at

least 18 months until mid-Term 3 of Year 12

We don’t count hours in CAS, however a good aim is to be involved in experiences for 2-3 hours each week during

term time to maintain a healthy BALANCED life!
