Overview

A CAS experience is a specific event in which the student engages with one or more of the three CAS strands. CAS experience can be a single event (like a beach clean-up on a Saturday morning - Service) OR may be an extended series of events (like hosting coding workshops for middle school students - Creativity and Service).

A CAS project is a collaborative series of sequential CAS experiences lasting at least one month. The key to understanding the project is thinking of these two factors: frequency + duration.

Your two-year CAS programme will consist of planned/unplanned singular and ongoing experiences, and one major project that consists of a series of planned CAS experiences.

Experience/Project Guidelines:

• Must fit in one or more of the strands - C, A, and/or S

• Be based on a personal interest, skill, talent or opportunity for growth

• Experiences can be planned or unplanned

• Projects must be planned and approved by the CAS Coordinator

• While you might have 5-6 Experiences or more over the programme, you will only have 1 project
