The IB MYP Learner Profile Attributes
The IB MYP Learner Profile Attributes
The IB MYP is the driving force behind everything we do at LAB. The three key aspects of its philosophy that we proudly deliver is: Conceptual understanding, Character building and International mindedness. Through our values, we emphasise the relevance of the Learner Profile attributes to encourage our students to be well rounded human beings. The 10 attributes are Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, OpenMinded, Caring, Risk-takers, Balanced, and Reflective.

As we have been able to welcome our parents and carers to visit our academy this year, we have also taken this opportunity to share more information about how the IB MYP is implemented at LAB. We have had wonderful students sharing their experiences and their work with parents on consultation evenings and option evenings.
In our commitment to educate young people who understand their place in their local, national and global community, our student government have taken part in service initiatives such as: Second hand uniform charity shop, helping out in Greenwich food bank, developing links with the local library, etc.
"My community project was to create awareness about issues relating to the presentation of disabled people in sport. In more detail, my project was aimed to minimise stereotypes and inspire more activism for fairness and equality.
In LAB Learner lessons I began researching and planning the outcome of my Community project to ensure that this will positively affect the local community. I began this by exploring different facts and statistics that I think will surprise the audience and spread awareness.
After this, I started creating a series of different posters that communicate a message in each of them. I also considered the layout of the poster to make it aesthetically pleasing as well as easy to read. Through various sources I distributed these posters to the public through areas in which I thought would make the biggest impact on the diverse community.
To finish the project,I reflected upon how effective my outcome was to the local community and I documented much of the work I had completed throughout the project."

Community Projects
All of our Y9 students have also taken part in a community project, which is a compulsory part of the IB Middle Years Programme. As part of their project, students were encouraged to research about a need in their community and take action based on their interest. It has been an absolute pleasure to see our Y9 students be so passionate about making a difference.
"The Community Project, which all year 9s were given the opportunity to participate in, is a task where students are given time to plan out a project to help any form of a community that benefits them in one form or another with a group of 2 - 3 people. For example, a community that may need aid could be getting children active. Most students choose a project that they feel a closeness or relation to: a sporty person may help other kids become more healthy by leading their own after school club with younger years in their school or someone who loves food might lead a club by making a blog about healthy food choices. For my community project, I was set on the Black community and combating racism within schools as well as celebrating Black people’s heritage and culture as I feel passionate about improving this aspect of school. To do this, I chose 3 of my friends who also felt they would have a good input within this, and using our LAB Learner lessons (which we were given to complete the project) we created slides on information based on our project and decided to develop the project further and planned to present it to year 7s. I have learnt the skills of: good communication, whilst working with other people in a group project and cooperating by putting all our ideas together; being a thinker and constantly wondering how to improve the project; and learning to be a leader and taking ownership of the project when needed
