Our LCS Grade 10 students have successfully completed their MYP Personal Projects for the purpose of developing the attributes of the IB learner profile, demonstrating their Approaches to Learning skills, and fostering their development as independent, lifelong learners. They presented courageously at the Exhibition, sharing their stories of successes and challenges with regard to the process of research and the creation of their products.
