This week’s
message
We have a lot happening over the next few weeks to prepare
for the WASC IB Visit. At the start of
the self-study, we used the above picture of a shark made up of goldfish to
illustrate our school; we are all members of smaller teams, that are members of
bigger teams, that together make up a team of teams that is our school.
An important reason for the visit is to have us thinking
about how we work. To help people
have a better overview of things happening please see the different sections of
this blog. On the top you will see links to the Head of School Blog, the
Curriculum Blog, and The school visit Blog.
You will also see tabs at the top of this page for
information that is important for you to know and use, including:
- IDU’s
- BQC
- Service and Action Curriculum links
- ATL Progression and Planning Chart
- Feedback from Classroom Walkthroughs
Below on this post you will find information on: 1. unit
completion check lists, 2. BQC feedback,
3. Questions to think about as we prepare for the visit, 4. a list of school initiatives for the past few years, 5. upcoming events.
