HJ:) Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well I was wondering what are the limits to the CAS is. (if there is a limit that is... ) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 You can't get paid for anything you count as CAS. Other than that, schools set their own restrictions on CAS. Some are more strict than others with what counts and what doesn't. Ask your co-ordinator what limits they have in your school (ours doesn't allow us to get more than 20 hours of CAS from one activity, we can't count driving lessons as CAS and we don't need supervisors evaluations/self-evaluations for activities that we spent less than 5 hours doing).

vintagedream Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I don't know if these counts for all schools although i think so. You can't do anything that can benefit yourself or your family.You can't do anything that's religious or political. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLSmash Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 To what vintagedream said, you can't necessarily do something religious or political, but if you were to sing in a Church choir that'd be fine according to my co-ordinator. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwongzilong Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 As long as it isn't beneficial to you in a material way, pretty much any activity you can learn from can count as CAS.If you want some examples this is the stuff I have been doing.Action-track and field-golfCreativity-Theatre Shows (in and out of school)Service-Weekly volunteering at an old person's homeand that is pretty much all my CAS plans are for the two years.It isn't a hard thing to do, but it is a hard thing to get started if you don't participate regularly to begin with.

JMR Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Of course you can always do over the 50 hours per each. However, from what I know, for the candidates graduating from 2010 onwards, its not that strict anymore? You can go with 50 hours approximately.. its not based only on staring at hours anymore from what I've understood. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They should make it 100hours each section. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They should make it 100hours each section.Why? So that we have less of a social life and have to spend more time writing crappy evaluations? Eveything in moderation. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deissi Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 They should just remove the program because it's very unfair. Some schools have it easy (like us), and we get CAS for everything. In the end, it's so easy that I haven't had to worry about CAS once during IB. On the other hand, some schools are so strict about CAS that students have to work their ass off for the hours. Not exactly my idea of a good system for evaluation. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermine0817 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 In some cases you could falsify your records, and it may be hard to find out whether it is really done or not.I heard that quite some people are doing that. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herong2x Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 i guess we cant have soemething we already know as cas, and that if it concerns our curriculum, that is a big no noalso that if we want something not cas like to be counted for cas, we have to seriously argue with our cas coordinator Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
