CAS Response from Stephen Keegan, Regional Manager for Diploma Programme IB Asia Pacific.

IB Diploma students have done so much for CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) Program. The CAS activities of IB students were reported to the IB Regional Office and here is the response received through e-mail dated March 23:

“The programme which the school has designed is closely aligned with the CAS Guide. The learning outcomes are the focus of planning and evaluation. There are effective procedures in place to help students to reflect meaningfully on their experience. The service component appears to be given appropriate emphasis, and there is the expectation that students will initiate their own activities. The school’s concern about their isolated position is noted, and in fact the programme which the school is developing is commendable in this context.”
There were different kinds of CAS activities students have done so far, for example: teaching soccer to one of national school, teaching English to orphanage children, teaching English to our school cleaning, kitchen and security staff, join different competitions, etc.

Good Job, Guys!

Preparing and Sharing Portfolio: Our Elementary Student-Led Conference

As it says in Luke 2:40, 52, “There the child grew up healthy and strong. He was filled with wisdom beyond his years, and God placed his special favor on him….So Jesus grew in height and in wisdom, and he was loved by God and by all who knew him.” On the basis of these Scriptures, we should include evidence of intellectual, moral, spiritual and social / emotional development in the form of a portfolio.

This year in term 4 students are preparing to present their portfolios to their parents. There will be two days scheduled in June for this special presentation.
What is a portfolio? It is a collection of student work that paints a picture of who a child is. No child is one-dimensional, so a portfolio will include a wide variety of materials.
The portfolio is a wonderful tool. It allows teachers and parents to build a detailed picture of who the child is and gives us clues to what they can become. In order to meet these goals, we must plan our portfolio carefully. We must make sure that the contents are selected wisely.
Our first attempt at preparing the portfolio has been an enriching and enjoyable experience so far. As a team, the teachers are exploring ways of presenting the portfolio to you, as it will be your first time too. Students have started reflecting on their work and shuffling through their folders, reviewing papers, consulting with classmates, making choices individually as well as a class, composing their letters, and so on.

The goal of this Student Led Conference is to foster self confidence, pride in work, and independent and responsible learning habits by means of show casing their work to you, the parents.
At a later date, we will be giving you further information about how to approach this and support your child in this event.
