We explored ManageBac, IXL, Raz Kids and SeeSaw, highlighting their features and benefits.

1. Secondary Parent Workshop

Extended essay in DP and -portfolio in MYP

The workshop provided more insight into the details of how the process for the extended essay works. The Extended essay and e-portfolio being mandatory requirements for obtaining the diploma and the MYP certificate respectively is of prime importance. Both these components require strong self-management, research and communication skills and the workshop demonstrated how these skills could be built. Our team also provided guidance on how parents could support their children at home for this.
