The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. IBO 2013
At Chatsworth, we try to live out the IB learner profile as we espouse the importance of the attributes in the classroom. We believe that by focusing on the IB learner profile and supporting our students to be caring, responsible, inquirers, thinks, communicators, principled, open-minded, risk-takers, balanced and reflective they will truly be internationally mind, accepting that others with their differences can also be right.
Here a number of examples of the IB learner profile in action in the primary school:
During the "Action Jackson" painting in K1 they created a messy floor. They could have left it for our cleaners to clean, however, they decided to use this to reinforce the concept of being principled and doing the right thing. Mr. Gopal, our maintenance head appreciated K1's consideration for the cleaners.
The Year 1 children in Ms Gupta's class decided to make signs to "care for the plants" when they realised that the plants were being destroyed or even pulled out!
Miss Williams' K2 class were illustrating aspects of the learner profile in class this week as a way to reinforce the students' understanding of the attributes. They gave many examples...
