An important element of our IB programme is “taking action” with our learning. In the simplest terms, we know or learn about something or someone, we care and we further develop compassion for others and/or passion for learning and then we do something. That something can be big or small, visible or invisible – it might just be a change in thinking. Check out what we know, care about and do as we celebrate our passions and show compassion.
