Parents Back to School Day

The recent Parents back to School day saw several parents attending the MYP information session regarding the grade 8 2019/2020 Community Project. Students have allocated time on their schedule for Projects on Day 5 p.6. 

The students have been busy forming their groups, making decisions about their process journal format and selecting a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to help direct their proposal for action. Additionally, selecting a global context will help focus of the action. Students are also writing ideas through developing mind maps and brainstorming with their peers.

The next stage is for students to write their work plan in their group, complete their specific details in order to meet the needs of the project, and the deadline on the 17th February 2020

Key points of the Community Project:

• An important action and service project

• Identify a focus and define a goal through the use of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

• Select a global context

• Develop a proposal for action

• Use of the inquiry cycle and process journal

• An oral presentation and assessed through the MYP criteria

• Undertaken in grade 8

• Completed individually or in groups of three

• Leads to the Personal Project, CAS and TOK

Please see the Community Project Presentation below and the Padlet the students use. Further updates will be posted about the Community Project in coming weeks.
