MYP Personal Project Exhibition - Tuesday 21 January at 6 pm

The Personal Project is an independent research project in the final year of our MYP. It is a significant piece of work that is the product of the student's own initiative and creativity, completed in their own time. It focuses on one of the global contexts and is an application of their Approaches to Learning skills acquired through the MYP.

The exhibition is a celebration of this work and an opportunity for students to share their products with the school community - we look forward to seeing you there on Tuesday 21 January at 6 pm in the Lars Ask Auditorium.

Science on Stage exhibition, Lisbon, Portugal

Not only was it an accomplishment to be included as a presenter, but Mr Decelles and his partner also won the award for the 'best joint project' at the exhibition.
