IB Learner Profile Learning Activity
Knowledgeable Learners develop and use conceptual understanding from new engaging information in pursuit of knowledge.
Thinkers Learners analyse and take responsible action on complex questions that test their own perspective.
Communicators  It is my personal goal that all my students talk in the class. My year 1 TOK students express themselves confidently once someone starts to give his or her thoughts on a given scenario our activity has presented.
Balanced Grade 11 students are finding ways of balancing their own life regardless of the pandemic protocols of their previous years. Their TOK fundamentals form exercises which show how they are acquiring good judgment based on a given statement or result of a calculation of their own fear yet  considering their own maturing  emotional, physical and intellectual preparedness. I admire their last month SMN CUP activities whilst having several due tasks on TOK and other subjects.
Reflective On the numerous reflection activity or task summary the grade 11 thoughtfully considered the world and their own ideas and experience.. They are insightful on the justification they present.

IB Learner Profile Learning Activity
Knowledgeable The senior class adopt this profile on various written activities. They are advancing properly the ways of considering the merits, or otherwise ,of an argument or concept that I thought they forgot from year 1. Their opinions and conclusions are present, clear and are supported with appropriate evidence and sound argument.
Communicators Learners express themselves confidently and have not even burned out regardless if the class is the last schedule of the day or a weekend homework.
Caring The grade 12 show empathy, compassion and respect not due to their small numbers in the class but in the context of their maturing  commitment to complete the Internal Assessment (IA) and hurdle the IB route they will choose next May. To service from the class discipline and behaviour they show they act to make a positive difference in the lives of (new or old)  classmates
Reflective The grade 12 class  are expressing their ideas and experience as a good basis of their perspective on the writing task. They explained with a careful detailed account including reasons or causes on the knowledge questions given to them.
