Hello MYP/DP Learners,

Ever wonder if your teachers notice all the great stuff you do in relation to the Learner Profile???

Well, we do! Check out the posters outside the MYP LGR from an activity teachers completed last week, focused on evidence of the Learner Profile in action around campus.

Keep doing the right things for the right reasons! We are proud of you!
