CAS at Kristin

IB students are involved in a comprehensive range of service, cultural and sporting pursuits outside of the classroom, many of which contribute to their CAS experience. CAS involves real, purposeful activities which provide a degree of personal challenge and lead to significant outcomes. Students are encouraged to give thoughtful consideration to planning and reviewing their CAS programme and to reflect on the outcomes and the personal learning involved.
