The parent workshop on December 18th was called “Inquiry to Action” and was led by Ms. Julia Fan (our P6 Homeroom and Upper Primary Lead teacher) and Ms. Nicola Crossfield, our PYP Coordinator.

 

This workshop aimed to help parents understand how XLIS implemented inquiry learning practices and how students could develop essential critical inquiry skills through each unit. We also shared strategies for parents to initiate inquiry learning projects at home.

 

Secondary School Events

 

1. Secondary Parent Workshop

This workshop was to explain different subject choices on offer to our current M5 students. Our DPC, Ms. Eva Liu ran the session. This parent workshop was a build up to the course selection fair that would happen on December 16th. Through this workshop, our M5 parents got a better understanding of how subject choices in the DP would also influence future decisions on college majors.

 

2. DP Subject Fair 

On 16th of December, Ms. Eva Liu and Mr. Shameek Ghosh led the DP Subject Fair for our M5 students and parents, designed with consideration of feedback from the parent workshops and student surveys. The goal of this event was to provide a comprehensive overview of the DP structure, core requirements, and subject offerings, empowering students and parents to make informed decisions about DP subject selection. Students completed a course selection following this subject fair.

 

3. M5 PP exhibition

On 20th of December, our M5 students showcased their personal projects to our secondary community. The PP was a culmination of their efforts that they had taken throughout the past year. Our students had a variety in the type of projects undertaken including a variety in the products that had been produced. Through this process, our students enhanced their skills in academic writing, ATL skills and critical thinking.
