🧩 What Is CAS & How Does It Align With Group 6?
CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) is a core requirement of the IB Diploma Programme. As defined by the IB, students must engage in meaningful activities from each strand—Creativity, Activity, and Service—throughout their IB journey revisiondojo.com+15revisiondojo.com+15revisiondojo.com+15.
Group 6 subjects naturally intersect with Creativity (C), and when structured intentionally, can also contribute to Activity (A) and Service (S) strands, especially via group performances or community exhibitions.
👉 RevisionDojo’s guide "What Is CAS? Unveiling the IBDP Creativity, Activity, Service Program" gives deep insights into its structure and expectations revisiondojo.com+2revisiondojo.com+2revisiondojo.com+2.
✅ How Group 6 Subjects Can Be Used for CAS
🎨 Visual Arts, Theatre, Music, Dance, Film
- Creativity: coursework, performances, exhibitions, compositions are directly relevant CAS experiences.
- Activity: dance rehearsals, theatre performances, music ensemble rehearsals provide physical engagement.
- Service: tutoring peers in art, staging community performances, curating school exhibitions.
Recording these in your CAS portfolio—as well as reflections tied to learning outcomes—creates a seamless link between subject work and CAS documentation.

🗂️ How to Log Group 6 Activities in CAS Portfolio
- Define each activity: e.g., school band rehearsal or art exhibition planning.
- Map to CAS strands: mark it as “Creativity”, “Activity”, or “Service” (or a combination).
- Reflect regularly: note your goals, challenges, outcomes, and learning.
- Demonstrate learning outcomes like collaboration, skill-building, and initiative.
Given the overlap, many IB arts students can document a single art-related event under multiple strands—maximizing efficiency.
