International Mindedness Festival 2016-2016
Chatsworth Orchard is looking forward to our annual Orchard School Fair that will be held tomorrow, Saturday, March 19 from 10 am to 2 pm. As a way to bring our community together, the School Fair will be the launch of our first International Mindedness Festival (IMF). There will be games and activities for the students in the classrooms on the main floor of the Primary Building (Block 3) including crafts, rainbow loom bands, face painting, activities on the astroturf, the Secondary Dance Off 2016 Competition finale in the Main Hall and more.
We are excited to celebrate our first International Mindedness Festival, which will be held next week from March 21-24th. This event will be a blend of some of the community's favourite activities alongside some brand new, whole-school learning opportunities.
We have a motivated team of IBDP students leading the event and guiding the rest of the students. The theme will be 'Saving My Tomorrow' and the students will choose one of ten concepts to learn about, to help make a better future for all of us. Students will then be placed in a group based on which topic they are most passionate about. By the end of the week, students will have gained an understanding of sustainability and ways in which every individual can take action to make a difference to the world.
As part of the International Mindedness Festival, students from Year 3 to Year 10 will be participating in Service Learning excursions. Early Years students will participate in Service Learning on campus, taking action on their topics of choice with their homeroom classes. The purpose of their Service Learning is for students to learn more about the concept they have chosen for ‘Saving My Tomorrow’ and to identify ways they can continue meaningful service work in the future. Each of the groups will be visiting a different place and you will receive more details nearer the time. These visits will be taking place on Tuesday, 22nd March.
We will end the week with a celebration of the students’ learning, as well as the annual Parade of Nations and Food Festival.
