The Leigh Academy
Year 9 IB Community Project
This Module at The Leigh Academy we have been involved in many community projects, both at home and abroad. Our students and staff have shown their Caring nature through these projects and how well this IB learning attribute has has been embedded within our community
Year 9 students have been working in groups to plan how to help the local community. Paige, Ruby and Alexandru delivered care packages to Darent Valley Hospital and even had a thank you from a patient on the Dartford Facebook page whose husband had received a goody bag, with a gift and a get well soon card that had brightened up his day.
Two Year 9 form groups modelled the true meaning of sportsmanship, collaboration and team synergy as all the members of the two groups were actively involved in planning and participating in a friendly football match between the two classes with the goal of promoting physical fitness through sports.
Ben, Lily and Jadeena In Year 9 collected over items for the local food bank at St Edmund's Church. Local vicar Mandy Young said:
‘We are so grateful - you have been brilliant at helping us stock up and stay stocked, but the need is huge. And it does me such good to see children working so hard and so well for other families and kids who don't have much at all.’
