Year 9 MYP Community Project 

Congratulations to Our Year 9 Students on the MYP Community Project!

 

We are thrilled to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our Year 9 students as they embark on their MYP Community Projects. Their commitment to service learning highlights the strength of our school community. The passion and creativity shown by students in their service actions reflect our shared values of humility, respect, and kindness.

 

The Community Project is a key aspect of the IB framework. Through this project, students have demonstrated their commitment to making a meaningful difference in the world, guided by the values of service, reflection, and global-mindedness.

With the support of their dedicated mentors and parents/guardians, our students have embodied the IB Learner Profile attributes, particularly those of caring, principled, and open-minded individuals. Their projects exemplify how service-learning fosters personal growth and strengthens our school’s mission of creating compassionate, responsible, and active global citizens.

 

Please take a moment to explore the Service Section of our newsletter for more details on these exciting projects. 

 

We look forward to seeing the positive impact our students will make!
