These are the same published school announcements your child sees, with additional context for families. Dates, audiences, cancellations and attachments follow the student bulletin; the school announcement remains the source for exact arrangements.

The school's expectations protect learning, safety and respectful relationships. They cover behaviour, technology, academic integrity, attendance, uniform and campus boundaries. The linked guide summarises the 2026–27 MYP Code of Conduct.

• Technology: phones are handed in during Homeroom and are not used during the school day, including breaks and lunch. Smartwatches and headphones are not permitted.
• Respect and safety: reinforce respectful behaviour in person and online, and encourage your child to speak to a trusted adult about bullying or a concern.
• Integrity: submitted work must be the student's own. Discuss copying, source acknowledgement and whether AI use has been authorised by the teacher.
• Attendance and routines: follow the school's absence-reporting process and assessment requirements. Check the guide for the specific expectations rather than relying on informal advice.

H-Project 2027 is the school's independent project for M3. It prepares students for the habits needed later in the M5 Personal Project, but it is a separate school project. Students develop an investigation question, create a product, choose an IB Learner Profile attribute to develop, and connect skills from at least five subjects.

The handbook begins with November 2026 workshops, followed by research and development, product and reflection work in April, and a grading interview and exhibition in May/June 2027. Use the handbook and current notices for the detailed schedule.

Service as Action (SA) is part of the IB Middle Years Programme. Students put learning into practice by responding to a genuine need in their community. It might involve helping others, raising awareness, supporting inclusion or developing a student-led initiative. It is more than collecting hours or raising money: students consider the purpose, act responsibly and reflect on what they learn.

Good service starts with listening. Students should consider who benefits, how to work respectfully with them, and what difference their action makes. The school determines how activities are approved and recorded; not every activity automatically meets its SA expectations.

LILT UPDATE

Pink bracelets are now 50 cents at the printing desk. Please support the donation box at the front office window. The LILT talk is in early November, with a translator if needed.

A student council represents student perspectives and brings constructive ideas to staff. Representatives listen to their peers, discuss priorities, and help develop improvements or activities for the school community. It gives students practice in communication, collaboration and responsible leadership.

The council is not a substitute for speaking directly to a teacher about an individual learning concern, or to a trusted adult about safety and wellbeing. Election details, roles and current opportunities should be checked in the school's announcements.

MYP assessment is criterion-related: teachers judge work against published descriptions of achievement, rather than ranking students against classmates. In most MYP subjects there are four criteria, A–D, each assessed on a scale from 0 to 8. The names and skills differ by subject, so “Criterion B” does not mean the same thing in every classroom.

Subject criteria assess different dimensions of learning, such as knowledge, investigation, communication or application. The M3 H-Assessment and M5 Personal Project each use three project criteria, not the four-criterion subject model.

The IB MYP Personal Project is a substantial, student-led project in the final year of the programme. Students choose an area of personal interest, set a learning goal, develop a product or outcome, and reflect on both their learning and the result. A supervisor supports the process, but ownership stays with the student.

The project includes evidence of the process and a report, not just a finished object. The school provides its own deadlines, submission instructions and supervisor arrangements; check these with your child's supervisor rather than assuming the M3 handbook applies to M5.
