CREATIVITY

Top Tips for CAS

Choose experiences you know you will enjoy!
- The more you do this, the more likely you will stick to it and feel motivated to reflect on. For example, try choosing experiences similar to your hobbies.

Try new things!
- CAS gives you a great opportunity to have fun whilst completing the IB program. Some of our favourite memories in high school come from our service events (read more below).

Set a goal for yourself to reflect on at least three of your experiences per month.
- This is a manageable amount - meaning you are more likely to stick to it and feel less overwhelmed closer to the due date.
