IB Learner Profiles

by Andrew Paul Tomlin | Sep 5, 2022

On 2^nd September 2022, MYP students spent their day exploring the importance of IB LEARNER PROFILES. They discovered that learner profiles are just as important in our everyday lives as they are in school. After checking their preknowledge, they attended four different stations to see the connections and the impact these learner profile traits have on our lives: 
#1 – learner profiles on a community level →How learner profiles encourage us to help the community. 
#2 – Learner profiles on a school level →How our behaviour impacts the school atmosphere and how learner profiles help us make positive changes. 
#3 – Learner profiles on a subject level →How learner profiles help us be more successful in different subjects. 
# 4 – Learner profiles on an individual level → Realizing our strengths and weaknesses.  
Students then chose one learner profile they will be working on throughout the whole school year of which they will be collecting evidence of their progress along the way.  
And it’s not just the students who will be working towards improving in their chosen area, the teachers will also join them and we invite you to participate as well.  

It’s the little things that make a big difference, so join us in making these positive changes!

1st Day of School

by Andrew Paul Tomlin | Sep 1, 2022

Every new day brings a fresh chance, it brings new hope and it sheds a new light.
Dear students, respected parents and my dearest colleagues. A very warm welcome to each and every one of you.
Today we have many new students among us; therefore, let us welcome them with a smile and loud applause.
Let me return to my opening thought. As we all know the beginning of something new is always a new opportunity. For some of you the novelty might only be a new school year, for some of you a new school and on top of that for some of you even a new country. Nonetheless, you all have something in common; you are all opening a next chapter of your life. A chapter full of challenges. But it depends on you on how to overcome those challenges. Please, have in mind that none of us can be good at everything. Luckily, we are all unique. Therefore, compete only with yourself, learn from your mistakes and always try to do your best. Success has no shortcuts.   
With that being said, I would once again like to welcome or welcome you back to DKIS. Let the new school year begin.
