IB Project Day

For the 4th time, the IGS secondary teachers prepared an exciting project day to further familiarize students with the IB learner profile and the special features, such as the Core programme, that sets the diploma programme apart. Mixed groups of grade 7 and 8 students participated in six hands-on and practical activities and used their experiential learning to reflect on the attributes that constitute a successful learner. Mr. Vale confirmed that the activities were a resounding success: “There was a level of excitement that I haven’t seen during online teaching. The students were buzzing.”
The older students of grades 9 and 10 who are on the way to starting the GIB programme have practiced important skills such as academic writing which is integral for the Extended Essay or critical thinking during the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) workshop.
Finally, they learned about the Creativity, Activity, Service component and worked on their reflection skills during group work organized by our senior students. Mr. Steier commented: “I really enjoyed how seriously the students were taking the workshops.”
We hope that the students can extensively apply what they have learned, and are looking forward to the project day next year!
