What are the factors that will help make the CAS project successful?
Dr. Anil Khare:
A CAS project will be a collaborative project where there is planning and perseverance. Students should define a real need, clearly define goals, break up the responsibilities, and record their work.
Be aware that CAS projects need to reflect at least one strand of CAS and satisfy the IB requirements for a CAS collaborative project. Furthermore, prior to contacting external organisations, students should seek school approval and before fundraising, they must ensure that they comply with UAE fundraising guidelines.
