C A S Project

The CAS Project:

Is collaborative,

Is a well-considered series of sequential CAS experiences,

Engages students in one or more of the CAS strands of

creativity, activity, and service.

CAS students must be involved in at least one

CAS project during their CAS programme.
The purpose of the project:
To challenge you to show initiative,

To demonstrate your perseverance,

To develop your skills such as those of cooperation,

problem-solving and decision-making.
What does it involve?
A CAS project involves collaboration between a group of students
or with members of the wider community.

Students work as part of a team, with all members being

contributors.

A CAS project offers an opportunity to be responsible for, or to

initiate, a part of or the entire CAS project.
How?
All CAS projects should use the CAS stages as a framework for
implementation to ensure that all requirements are met.

The 5 stages:
Investigation;
Preparation;
Action;
Reflection;
Demonstration

CAS project can address any single strand of CAS, but

preferably combine two or all three strands.
Some Ideas:

Creativity: A student group plans, designs and creates a mural.

Activity: Students organize and participate in a sports team including
training sessions and matches against other teams.
Service: Students set up and conduct tutoring for people in need.

Service and activity: Students plan and participate in the planting and
maintenance of a garden with members of the local community.
Service and creativity: Students identify that children at a local school
need backpacks and subsequently design and make the backpacks out
of recycled materials.
Your Project MUST:
Have a well defined purpose and goal.
Have individual learning outcomes to further guide your role and
responsibilities in the CAS project.
(you will likely identify more outcomes, or modify expected
outcomes during the CAS project and/or at its completion. )
Last a minimum of one month, from planning to completion.
(It could last longer as this can provide even greater scope and
opportunities for all.)

Have reflections on your CAS project experience.

(Due to the collaborative nature of the CAS project, having
occasions to reflect with others can prove most informative
and assist you in gaining insights into the process of your
endeavour as well as personal growth )
Global Awareness:

Your Projects could be something which creates global

awareness for you and your audience

It could allow you to achieve LO6 and LO7 if you do not

participate in a CCA which already does this
