CAS Learning Outcomes
As you engage in CAS, you should focus on the learning outcomes that each of your experiences may provide. You must complete experiences that address all of the seven outcomes by the end of Year 2 of the Diploma Programme.
MPHS has established specific deadlines to support you to make sure that you complete your CAS requirements.
These deadlines are specific to your cohort. Please contact your IB Coordinator if you are having difficulty meeting these deadlines.
