Students in year 9 studying the Middle Years Programme (MYP) recently showcased their Community Project work in a dynamic and inspiring presentation event attended by parents, teachers and peers. The Community Project, a core element of the MYP framework, encourages students to explore their interests and take meaningful action within their local or global community.
Throughout the academic year, students identified real-world issues, conducted research and implemented projects that addressed areas of personal passion or community need. Topics ranged from environmental sustainability to social media issues.
The presentation day marked the culmination of months of planning, collaboration and reflection. Students set up booths or delivered presentations explaining their project’s goals, process, challenges and impact. They shared journals, visual displays and some even shared videos.
Parents and teachers were visibly impressed by the students’ creativity, empathy and dedication. Many commented on the valuable skills students demonstrated, including communication, problem-solving and project management—skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
For the students, the Community Project was more than just an academic requirement; it was an opportunity to make a tangible difference and grow as socially responsible global citizens.
