Frequently asked questions
Do maths clubs and competitions count for CAS?
They can. A club is a strong CAS project when you lead it with others, plan it properly and keep it going for months, not when you only turn up. Your CAS coordinator decides what counts at your school.
Can I use one of these ideas as it is?
Use it as a starting point. Shape it around a real need or interest at your school or in your community, plan it with others where you can, and agree it with your CAS coordinator before you start.
