This week our Grade 12 students began their IB DP Examinations, we wish them all the very best for the next three weeks of finals. Invitations for our 2019 Graduation Ceremony have been sent to families and the community and we are in our final preparations for a wonderful celebration.
We celebrate the IB Learner Profile ‘Reflective’ this month. ‘We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.’ (IBO, 2006) Students will have time throughout the day to reflect on their learning and how to develop individual skills. We look forward to welcoming parents to the Paterson campus for our Parent Focus group feedback session. This will be on Wednesday 8th May at 8am in the Changi Hall in the Elementary School, everyone is welcome to attend. An invitation has been sent from the Head of School’s office, please do contact the school if you need another copy. Service Learning This past week our Grade 9 students have been busy identifying a ‘Community Cause’ that they would like to focus on this semester. We hope the students will identify a passion they are interested to complete as their Service As Action in the MYP and possibly continue into Grade 11 and Grade 12 as their CAS project. They will complete a series of sessions through the Pastoral Care curriculum to support the chosen cause and develop personal skills from time management, organisational and working on building their personal strengths. We look forward to seeing their Service As Action projects and over the coming weeks. We welcome the whole community to our MYP Arts Showcase on Thursday 9th May 4pm at the Preston campus. It will be a wonderful celebration presented by our MYP students. Comments are closed.
