Year 9 Introduction to the Personal Project (Year 10 2025)

December 2, 2024 at Merici College

In Week 8 of this term, Year 9 students and their families will be introduced to the Middle Years Programme (MYP) Personal Project (PP). The Personal Project is an opportunity for Year 10 students to “explore an area of personal interest over an extended period.

It provides them the opportunity to consolidate their learning and develop important skills they’ll need in both further education and life beyond the classroom. It also helps them develop confidence to become principled, lifelong learners” (IBO, n.d.).
