MYP Coordinator, Camille Le Prou, said she was blown away by the quality of work and incredibly proud of what students had accomplished. Year 10 student, Emily Humphrey, described her involvement in the Year 10 Community Project as challenging but very rewarding.

“ ““As well as taking action, students noted in their reflections that their understanding of what service learning is has shifted throughout the project. It is pleasing to note that students have been selfmotivated and driven to succeed in this aspect of the Middle Years Programme to be able to think outside of themselves and serve a wider community need through their learning journey,” she said. “Throughout the journey of our project, we encountered a number of problems and difficulties and came up with many solutions and new ideas. We have learnt to solve issues calmly and constructively and have developed many key life skills as well. We have loved helping our community, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we have taken a lot away from this experience,” said Emily.
