What Makes an Activity a CAS
Activity? You plan it in advance and set a goal.
You interact with others to work toward the goal.
You can reflect on your progress during and after the activity.
You meet at least one of the 8 learning outcomes.

Undertake new challenges
Plan and initiate activities
Work collaboratively with others
Show perseverance and commitment in activities

Develop new skills
CAS is NOT: IBDP coursework
Any activity for which the student receives payment or
similar benefit
Tedious, repetitive work
Family duties
Religious devotion
Unsupervised by an adult
An activity that could cause division among groups in the
community
A passive pursuit
CAS Guiding Questions
Is the activity a new role for me?
Does it have real consequences for other people and myself?
What do I hope to learn from getting involved?
How can this activity benefit other people?
On what can I reflect during this activity?
What learning outcome will I achieve?
