School Update
G9 & G10
Sustainability Expo Field Trip Good Balance, Better World. This was the theme of
• BETTER LIVING: climate adaptation strategies, innovative solutions, and lifestyle changes aimed at achieving net-zero emissions and mitigating climate change.
SX2024 reminded us of issues we collectively need to address in order to create a better world, and showed us an exciting array of local entrepreneurs, artists and businesses already on the way to making a positive change.
• BETTER COMMUNITY: successful social, environmental, and economic projects that foster inclusive communities through collaborations from various sectors.
the 2024 Sustainability Expo that G9 and G10 students had the opportunity to visit on Thursday, October 3rd, 2024.
The specific exhibits that students engaged with were: • SEP INSPIRATION: the impact of individual actions on sustainability through interactive exhibits and from leaders in global and national sustainability efforts. • BETTER ME: adopting a sustainable lifestyle focused on nutrition and mental health to improve long-term personal well-being.
• BETTER WORLD: artworks that highlight sustainability. This demonstration of “Good Balance, Better World” across these domains helped students connect deeply with the IB’s mission of fostering international-mindedness by considering the inter-connected layers of individual, local, national and international actions. This trip also aligned with our goals in the MYP programme of contextualizing student learning in real-world, authentic issues that impact our everyday lives. Ms. Rachel Samson MYP Coordinator
