Primary School Events
1. Primary Parent Workshop (for PYP6 Parents)
IB Learner Attributes led by Ms. Julia Fan, our P6C Homeroom Teacher.
IB Learner Profile Attributes, the heart and soul of the PYP curriculum. The attributes of the learner profile represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that encompass intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth. The development and demonstration of these attributes are foundational to students becoming internationally minded, active and caring community members who respect themselves, others and the world around them. In this workshop, parents had the opportunities to unpack the attributes by doing some engaging activities and look at some strategies for home support.
2. PYP6 Exhibition
In their final year in the Primary, students are expected to conduct their Exhibition to demonstrate and apply what they learned throughout their time in the PYP. The Exhibition is one of the highlights in P6 that allow students various opportunities to explore real-life issues they are interested in. Based on their investigation, the students shared with the community the information and what action they took to solve the problem.
3. Primary Parent Workshop (for PYP5 Parents)
Learning in the Makerspace – Sparking Creativity in STEM led by Ms. Maggie Qiu the Makerspace teacher.
Our Makerspace has been a vibrant hub of exploration and education, where students embark on an exciting journey of inquiry. Through hands-on activities, they delve deeply into various subjects. Parents eager to understand how to nurture or reinforce their children’s interests in STEM – encompassing science, technology, engineering, and math – were invited to join our workshop. Here, we presented cases and learning experiences from our school Makerspace, giving parents a glimpse into how their children were engaging with STEM at school. This inspired them to envision new possibilities for STEM learning at home. Additionally, we shared resources that could support children’s STEM learning in the comfort of their own homes.
Secondary School Events
1. Secondary Parent Workshop (for MYP1-MYP3 Parents)
Project-Based learning is an important part of education nowadays. Here at XLIS we have been encouraging and guiding our young students to engage in creating projects for the past years. Ms. Bella has been guiding the students of M1-M2 in the Meta-Projects-Ms. In the workshop, Bella explained to the parent what project-based learning was about and how our students could complete this important aspect of their IB learning.
