Concerning the New CAS

[herong2x]

well im not aware of the old rules but we are also required to propose some activities and also have some

acitivities that involve all criteria of CAS. in our school, we have the cas camps where creativity, action and

service are all included. i guess we are also following the new rules?

The rules we have are these:

Must be continual CAS over 18 months

1 Long-Term Service (4 months) OUT of school, two areas of CAS

Must fulfill 8 learning outcomes (can't remember them all, but it's like 1. Considers the ethical implications of your actions, 2. learns new skills, etc.)

i thought that the learning outcomes were the official IB rules.

hmm I guess we abide by the old rules.

First of all, we need 150 hours (50, 50, 50) and we need to have learning outcomes and such... That's it though...

I haven't heard anything about this new ruling on CAS, we're still doing the 50 hours per part.

The only thing different at our school CAS-wise this year are these new reflection forms that are made by our school, and are basically much more harder to answer rewordings of the questions already on the form itself. At my school, we don't even have to keep track of which hours are Creativity, Action or Service, but instead, we're encouraged to find activities that encompass all 3 as much as possible. The 150 hours rule still applies. The fact that your school has changed it seems pretty weird to me. :/
