Exit Interview – Presentation Guidelines:
The time for completing your CAS journey has arrived.
If your progress is sufficient i.e. you “on track” or an excellent flag on your MB CAS worksheet at
least one week before your CAS EXIT INTERVIEW, you will need to prepare a presentation of your
CAS experiences to your CAS advisor or CAS Coordinator.
Students who are a cause for “concern” will not be able to give a CAS Presentation until the
progress of CAS on MB has been changed to “on track”. Unfortunately, a student who does not
complete the exit interview with a presentation will fail CAS. Contact your CAS advisor or
coordinator now, and find ways to remedy this problem, if this is your case.
Your Diploma depends on passing CAS.
Aim of the Presentation:
To clarify, comment and outline what you learned while being involved in various CAS
experiences – your CAS journey of 18 months. In particular, what you have learnt with
reference to the 7 Learning Outcomes of CAS and the IB learner profiles.
Both positive and negative experiences build up the matrix of who we are. Think about
who you were at the beginning of grade 11 and who you are now, a young adult about to
step into the world.
Content of the Presentation:

When: Between February Break and Spring Break; please reserve a time with your
CAS advisor. He or she will provide you with sign up information and links in the first week
after February break.

Duration: max. 10 min presentation and 15 min total interview, counting Q&A.

What: Your spoken presentation should be supported by visual material in the format
of a PPT which must be uploaded to your portfolio on MB (under CAS documents)
before your presentation. Be sure that the MB format works before your scheduled
appointment. Time is going to be important.

What: During the presentation, explicit reference must be made to the specific parts
of the CAS portfolio (e.g. certificates, photos, evaluations, correspondence, blogs
etc.) in order to provide evidence for the 7 Outcomes of CAS, for the usage of the 5
Stages of CAS, for at least one CAS project, and for a balance of experiences in the
3 strands of CAS: C + A + S.
