balloonbouquet Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm involved in SO much stuff. :\lol, I need to work on my priorities ... but that's kind of why I like CAS, it gives me an excuse to get involved in a lot of clubs/activities that I'd be doing if I weren't in IB anyways.C - art club, church choir, school newspaper, DECA, and I got hours for performing a song for my school's annual "talent show" I guess you could call it?A - karate, judo, badminton (team and club), swimming, skiing (this winter)S - volunteering at a seniors' home, math tutoring, reading buddies program at the library, teen advisory group at the library, youth ambassador program at my school, social justice team, and I teach karate at my karate class.I'm finished all my hours already and I'm only in year 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Creativity: School plays, designing invitation cards, writing a novel, creating a comic, and dance class.Activity: Tennis, karate, fencing, soccer, and sometimes from doing manual labour at service sites.Service: GK777 (Gawad Kalinga 777 -- also gives action hours), Chosen Children Village (working with mentally challenged children), tutoring in Japanese, participating at a Chinese old folks' home, and actually from making props and stuff for the school play (they consider it a service to the school, apparently).I'm done, mostly because of the school plays, the novel I wrote, tennis, and GK. But I was doing them for fun from the start anyway, so maybe that's why I earned CAS hours so quickly... (Geez, though, filling out those CAS forms can be a real pain sometimes.) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelsebubi Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 For service I'm coaching a baseball team and giving guitar lessons, for free ' Actually I'd do it anyways so I don't consider it CAS so much, it's just a one darn signature. Creativity is probably the easiest for me, because I do insane amounts of all kinds of music stuff, like playing in a band and doing gigs, but there the problem that who the heck will sign my CAS-diary? the middle-aged metal maniac running the bar that I'm playing in? hopefully not, I'd lose my face there Action is then maybe the most annoying one, because for that I actually had to start doing something like gym and jogging that I blissfully had forgot after quiting the baseball team.

cranberry_isle Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Most schools in the US have national honor society right? the ib coordinator says that you should not to the service you do for NHS for CAS. So I was wondering, can you actually do both(for all US students) and have NHS hours count for CAS hours? Because NHS requires are community leadership serive and action. so thats 2 out of the 3 in CAS, so i don't see why it shouldn't count for iti wouldn't see why not. both organizations just want to be sure you're involved. doing one activity and counting it for both of them is just using different papers to show the different organizations what you're doing.it works at my school. but i know some schools have stupid rules about CAS... ours has it's fair share too AAH! 50th Post!

cmcgui09 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 CAS was very easy for me because I do a lot of activities both in and out of school. I think there are CAS opportunities everywhere, people just fail to see them. CAS is really not very hard as everyone makes it out to be.

Aether Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I used to go to the hospital and play with the kids for about two hours every week. However, I just couldn't keep it up with all my other activities, so this year I am only doing things like Model United Nations, Honor Society, etc...
