1. CAS Is About YOU
Create a word document and answer the following questions:
What angers you most about the world? How could you change things?
Is there a way you could use your skills to contribute to your local community? Explain your answer.
How can you use the CAS programme to develop skills and interests that will benefit your future?

2. Managebac: CAS Portfolio
Add at all CAS experiences (so far) to your CAS portfolio.
You must complete the first page of the ‘CAS Activity’ section for each CAS experience.

3. The CAS Project

4. What is a CAS Project? Longer term project
One month duration or longer
Must be collaborative
Creativity, Action or Service (or a combination)
Must apply the CAS Stages
Evidence must be documented on Managebac, but may be presented in a variety of formats

5. The CAS Stages
A framework to assist students in planning and carrying out their CAS projects
The five stages are Investigation, Preparation, Action, Reflection and Demonstration

6. Investigation Investigation starts with YOU!
If it is a Service Project – more in-depth investigation is required:
Research the issue you are addressing
How does this issue affect the community?
What has previously been done to address this issue?
What are others currently doing?

7. Preparation
Thinking about what you are going to do and how you are going to do it
Create an action plan
Identify skills required to run the project and organise training/support if necessary

8. Action
The Easy Bit!
Simply involves following the plans you have prepared to action the project
Evidence this action on Managebac (Annotated photos, videos, written anecdotes etc.)

9. Reflection
Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley

10. Reflection
Should happen consistently throughout the project, not just after it has been actioned
Analyse what you did well and what you could have done differently
Demonstrate and communicate the achievement of the 7 CAS Learning Outcomes

11. Demonstration
The sharing of your project with an audience (not through Managebac)
Flexible approach to sharing – can be communicated in a variety of ways:
Public display or booklet, school newsletter, school website, The High, presentation to your class or other students

12. Next Steps
What have you already done that you can document as a project?
Creating a new project?

13. Deadline Dates
Investigation section completed and preparation stage started by the end of this lesson.
Supervisor reports from completed projects in Year 12 must be added to Managebac by Monday 31 October.
