The MYP Personal Project:

• provides an opportunity for students to undertake an independent and age appropriate exploration into an area of personal interest.

• encourages students to demonstrate and strengthen their ATL skills through the process of inquiry, action and reflection.

• allows students to explore an area that motivates and interests them. Students choose what they want to focus on, which can be an existing or a new interest, choose how to achieve their goal, and create their own success criteria for the product.

• provides an excellent opportunity for students to produce a truly personal and often creative product and to demonstrate a consolidation of their learning in the MYP.

• fosters the development of independent, lifelong learning. The independent nature of the project equips students to pursue meaningful goals in life, education and the workplace.
