Personal and professional skills is designed for students to develop attitudes, skills and strategies to be applied to personal and professional situations and contexts now and in the future.

 Through the development of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, critical and ethical thinking, and intercultural understanding, the course supports student learning in the other core components and elements of the CP and prepares students for future pathways toward higher education, further training, or employment as well as for their personal lives.

The language and cultural studies (LCS) component invites students to better understand and expand their own linguistic and cultural repertoires, and imagine how they could further engage with a range of linguistic and cultural groups.

As partners in inquiry, students and teachers explore their linguistic and cultural repertoires and reflect on them in the context of local and global communities.

The reflective project is an in-depth body of work produced over an extended period of time and submitted towards the end of the CP. Through a reflective project students identify, analyse, critically discuss and evaluate an ethical issue arising from an area of career-related interest.

The reflective project is intended to promote high-level research, writing and extended communication skills, intellectual discovery and creativity.

Community engagement offers opportunities for students to learn in, from and with communities as well as to apply knowledge and skills acquired in other areas of learning.

In this component, students situate themselves in the context of their community and identify, explore and understand issues relevant to them and their communities that they can respond to through engagement in and with communities.
