The CAS Project

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

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

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?

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

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.)

Reflection
Experience is not what
happens to you; its
what you do with what
happens to you.
Aldous Huxley

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

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

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