IloveIB! Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 How many hours must you do for CAS in general ?? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChikkyD Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) The general rule used to be 150 hours across 3 categories, so 50 hours in each. This then changed to meeting 8 outcomes and using 150 hours as a guide. Now, for all 2013 and onwards candidates, you must do 18 months of CAS In general though, doing around 2-3 hours per week is more than enough EDIT: 2012 kids have to do 18 months of CAS as well Edited September 11, 2011 by ChikkyD Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChikkyD Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 No problem! On IBS, if you want to show appreciation, all you have to do is click the 'thumbs up' on the bottom right of any post Is it already one of your subjects? If not, then you probably can, under the Creativity category Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChikkyD Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hahaha not quite. I just know posts that just say "thanks!" are frowned upon. Just trying to help out Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveIB! Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 One more Ques Do you have to do whatever activity you chose for the entire 18 months? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChikkyD Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I don't believe so. There are some activities which are a one off (for example, 40 hour famine), and so, it would be impossible to do them for 18 months. It's really about meeting the correct outcomes and making sure you have a balance between Creativity, Action and Service. You can have as many activities as you want, and they can go for however long you want Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm this? I NEED to show this to my co-ordinator!! *Panic attack* A link would do! "ALL PROPOSED CAS activities must meet these four criteria. CAS activities MUST continue on a CONTINUOUS basis over a MINIMUM of 18 MONTHS. CAS MUST continue until at least February of the senior year. CAS is required to be eligible for the IB diploma." ^ Taken from here. It applies to 2012 candidates I belive. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAPOWW!! Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey Can Anyone confirm whether this is applicable for me? I'm In year 2 started in '10 sitting for my IB in May 2012. Let me know ASAP please!? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellwo Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 KAPOWW, it is applicable for you but the change happened a few years ago I believe. The major thing is that you are involved in something for 18 months. Every activity does not have to be continuous. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 what the hell? I never actually thought all May 2012 candidates have to do the 18 months thing! because I've only heard of it when the 2013 people come here. and my school is not doing it, we're sticking with the 150 hours and 8 learning outcomes requirement. is my school doing something wrong or do schools get to choose what to follow?
