Gender Equality Survey

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lucy Stevens from Grade 7.
I am in the Reduced Inequality service group, but I am especially working on gender stereotypes and how they can affect others.
Please take a short amount of time to complete these short surveys.
I have created 2 surveys:
One for grades 3-5: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/93BZFVR
One for grades 6-10: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/93MP3WM
In these surveys I have asked, about what people think about gender stereotypes and their experiences with it.

Advisors, could you please encourage your students to take this survey. Thanks a lot for your time.

Regards,

Lucy

And they’re back! Every Monday between 3.15 and 4.15 teachers are in their classrooms ready to help you out.

Do you have a question about an assignment? Do you want help with Extended Essay, Personal Project or an IA? Do you want some extra practice on something you were learning in class? Do you want to discuss any part or piece of your learning? Then Student Office Hours are for you.

What do you do?

You just need to go to the classroom where your teacher is based and they will be available to talk to you and help you out. You don’t need an appointment or to ask if it is OK. How cool is that?
