On March 26, 2025, our Grade 10 students presented their Personal Project products, trifolds, and reports to our CISB community, which included students, staff, and parents. We were delighted to see products that not only reflected their hard work and skills but their creativity and innovation. From magnificent artworks, to displays of photography, short films, and muscial interpretations, our Grade 10 students went beyond and set a strong standard of what a student finishing the MYP can create.
What was very impressive was how the students were able to articulate the process they underwent in combining their MYP subjects, extra-curricular activities, and sporting events in order to maintain balance throughout the school year.
There are two goals to the Personal Project：a learning goal and a learning product. This independent project stretches from the beginning of the school year to December, when the student must have completed their personal learning product. While creating the product the students begin to concurrently write the report, which is what is ultimately graded. This report is based on three criteria：A: Planning，B: Applying Skills，C: Reflecting.
The students must use various ATL skills, such as research, time management, and communication amongst many to create the product and the report.
Congratulations Grade 10. You have done yourselves proud.
Mr. Paul Steffan is CISB’s Personal Project Coordinator and MYP Coordinator
He and the supervising teachers provided the support and overarching instruction our students needed to achieve such incredible results.
Thank you to all our students and staff for their hard work!
