MYP Student-led Conferences 2024

On April 5th, 2024, MYP students welcomed their parents to our annual Student-led Conferences, where they shared the new learning accomplishments they’ve achieved this year. This special day provides an opportunity for students to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering a sense of personal responsibility and accountability.

Throughout the year, we continue to build a culture of introspection and self-evaluation, by having students select work from their academic and non-academic endeavours to build a digital portfolio known as their “Learning Diary”. We encourage students to select learning engagements that are enjoyable, and to recognize their areas of strengths while also identifying areas where they may need additional support. By actively engaging in these reflective practices, students not only enhance their academic performance but also cultivate essential life skills such as critical thinking, self-awareness, and goal-setting, which are fundamental for their long-term personal and academic development.

In the MYP, we envision reflection to be a lifelong endeavour and involve the whole Concordian Community as we all “Learn and Grow Together

” Thus, our 3 big questions - to help us look back on the year and to set new goals - are aligned with our school’s mission statement. We ask students to consider their authentic learning (academic excellence), service experiences (integrity and compassion), and their journey to become more global citizens (principled and responsible).

Our thanks to all those who participated in this memorable event to celebrate student learning and student agency this year, we look forward to the student sharing again next year!
