This Tuesday M5s presented their MYP personal projects, completing a journey that saw them produce significant piece of work over almost the full school year. On a personal project evening, delivering to an audience of parents, faculty and other students, the M5s had the opportunity to reflect back on their projects, looking back at how far the've taken these practical explorations - through inquiry, action and reflection. Hear from them in their own words:
I have presented my prototypes and got a positive response. Making the idea a reality is the next step.
- Joachim Haverkamp
I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know where you’re from. I also like art and creating things, so I combined these two ideas.
- Komay Nguyen
My parents and teachers prophesied many things about this project and the way it will go. However, I surprised them. The process has taught me to be mentally strong, creative and open to alternatives.
- Cyriella Mbiguis
Taekwondo has been a lifelong passion of mine and I wanted to share my passion with others
- Billie Solley
I wanted to make paintings since I like art, and use it to educate others about the most common cancers in Azerbaijan.
- Jamila Sultanova
Personal project has developed a variety of skills in me, made me more patient, hard-working and dedicated individual.
- Albert Mukhametov
I was inspired to work with the refugees for my personal project after meeting some refugees my age and learning about the conditions and challenges they face here in Azerbaijan.
- Genna Gilchrist
My project involved the P6s and raised their awareness about conserving marine wildlife. By raising their awareness and teaching them about this topic I think I helped them to know what they could do to make a change.
- Malak Hajiyeva
I was able to reduce the amount of food being thrown away (at the cafeteria) and now we are able to recycle paper and plastic in our community.
- Wagma Isaczai
I raised the awareness about the importance of fire drills, and the times were improved - leading to a faster time for the school to be evacuated [in an event of emergency].
- Carlos Terres
I chose an issue I was interested in, something I was passionate about and a community I wanted to help.
- Emily Patterson
I became more caring, more organised.
- Mikayil Aliyev
My passion has been art since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to know how art can affect the individual positively.
- Daniel Carrera
My project was beneficial for the Mushfig Centre due to the potential help they may now get from our school community, specifically the student body.
- Amelie Hajiev
My workshop was designed to improve the mental states of special needs kids in Azerbaijan who don’t have access to music and music therapy.
- Struan Brannan-Anderson
I realised that in the world around me a lot of people used sign language from the malls to the airport and thought I’d make it considered a proper language just as any spoken language.
