CAS Advisor Info

The role of the AISB CAS Advisor is to monitor, support and assist students as they work towards completion of CAS Experiences and their grade CAS Requirements. This is done through regular meetings, discussions and formal interviews where student work can be reviewed and developed.

Remember, the goals of our CAS program are to develop students who:

 Enjoy and find significance in a range of CAS experiences

 Purposefully reflect upon their experiences

 Identify goals, develop strategies and determine further actions for personal growth

 Explore new possibilities, embrace new challenges and adapt to new roles

 Actively participate in planned, sustained, and collaborative CAS experiences.

 Understand they are members of local and global communities with responsibilities towards each other and the environment

WHAT ARE THE STUDENT REQUIREMENTS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE CAS?

1) Complete a balance of 'significant' Creativity, Activity and Service experiences. Students need to cover at least two of the three CAS strands.

2) Base these choices on a combination of student interests, talents and areas for growth.

3) Complete a CAS PLAN and a series of meaningful reflections by using the AISB CAS Planing and reflection document. Advisors may also choose to send you a Google Form CAS Plan. If they choose this option, then please complete the CAS Google Form instead of the CAS Plan form.
