The 2018 Personal Project

Year 10 students celebrated the end of their personal project with the Personal Project Exhibition, a culmination of nine months’ work

by John Collins, MYP Coordinator

The MYP personal project is a student-centred practical exploration in which students choose an area of interest to research and develop a product over an extended period of time. They are assisted in this process by a supervisor and are required to record the progress of their project in a process journal. Ultimately, students complete an assessable report (of between 1500-3500 words) which details their learning journey.

This year's cohort produced an amazing array of diverse projects showcasing their unique interests and abilities. The exhibition held on 23 and 24 August was a great success with students setting up displays to encourage conversations about their work. It was wonderful to hear them talk with such passion and maturity, identifying the challenges they faced and explaining how they overcame them.

On behalf of the Preshil community, I'd like to extend heartfelt congratulations to all the Year 10s on their hard work, perseverance and dedication to the project.
