Today I announced the possibility of doing some kind of broadcasting and video production club for a CAS project. Please contact myself or Mr. Nichols if you are at all interested in learning about how to produce videos.
The following are all CAS projects of IB students at other schools that you might not have thought about.

CAS Proposal (SAMPLE)
CAS Proposal (SAMPLE)
If you are thinking about joining volleyball, proposals must be written on your blog AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Winning ISAC must not be your only goal. Your goals must be related to at least one of the 8 learning outcomes and they must be personal and individualized.
*Think about specific skills you want to improve, your own physical fitness, how you work with teammates, your own coachability, etc.
Talk to your coaches to get ideas on creating specific goals.

CAS Opportunity in Seoul
Are you going to be in Korea June 23-25?
WHY?
- This is an exciting and unique CAS opportunity.
- You can meet other students who are interested in global issues like human rights.
- Human trafficking is a horrible problem in southeast Asia! (You should know something about it.)
- You might learn about a project you could bring to Baguio to do as your CAS project later on.
- It's not free but it's not that expensive considering the opportunity and where the money is going.
The website says that the Korea "Backyard Abolitionist Academy" is an introductory course so it is good for students without very much experience or knowledge about these issues. You will receive a certificate of completion.
Email me if you have more questions. Or go ahead and register on the website above and write a PROPOSAL.
