Students must take part in and document CAS experiences and projects on a regular basis for a minimum of 18 months.
The earliest that a student may begin to document CAS is the first day of Year 12 and all documentation must be completed by February of Year 13.
NOTE: A student may count a non-IB course offered during the school day in one more of the following subjects as a CAS experience/project (must gain prior approval from the CAS coordinator): Art, Band, Chorus, ROTC, Theatre, TV Production
In order for a CAS experience/project to be approved, you must supply the following information (via Datahub):
A detailed description of the experience/project as well as your personal goal for doing the activity.
Indicate the CAS strand(s) to be addressed (creativity, activity, service) Identify which of the 7 learning outcomes will be addressed
CAS Supervisor
Identify an activity supervisor (non-family member) and list their name and email address. The Supervisor should be the lead member of staff at West Island School for that experience. If it is student led, then your CAS Advisor (tutor) will become the supervisor and sufficient evidence will need to be collated for your tutor to sign off via Datahub. Finally, an activity that is perhaps outside of school or part of the WIS CAS programme but using an outside agency, then the person in charge will be your supervisor. However, they will need to sign off your commitment via email from you and your tutor.
