CAS is often treated as a checkbox. Done well, it becomes a genuine talking point in university interviews. 1. **Creativity — Podcast series** — 8-episode series on a local issue with interviews. 2. **Creativity — Community art install** — Mural, exhibition or short-film screening. 3. **Activity — Coach a junior team** — Weekly across a school year, documented. 4. **Activity — Charity endurance event** — Half-marathon, cycle ride, hike with fundraising. 5. **Service — Free tutoring programme** — Weekly sessions for younger students, tracked outcomes. 6. **Service — Environmental audit** — Measure and reduce your school's waste or energy. 7. **CAS project (all three strands)** — Build and run a school farmers market for a term. 8. **Documentation** — Photos, reflections, learning-outcome mapping — universities read these.
