Student initiated action

Student initiated action

Student initiated action is one of the essential elements of PYP learning. According to the IB mission statement, students have a responsibility not only to improve themselves but also to improve their communities and their world. IB schools strive to develop “inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world” and “active, compassionate and lifelong learners” (IBO Mission Statement, 2003).

HATS OFF to the crazy bunch ~ Mehr Ummat, Mahin Sardana, Anushhka Thakur and Ishani Patil who took the initiative to award their fellow peers for best behaviour. 

All our kids are being encouraged to take up the role as monitors and are assigned a variety of different tasks and responsibilities. So these four took the time to observe their environment and use some strategies to encourage kids to be more disciplined as individuals and in their attitudes towards school. The four of them designed lovely cups, certificates and badges to be given to those students who stood out and were also considerate to those who didn’t by giving them a badge of encouragement. 

So very well done guys!! I am so proud of you.
