Service As Action

Service as action (learning by doing and experiencing)

are values shared by IB and West Island community.  Your child may well have participated in community work as part of their primary years programme and we will continue to deepen their connection with meaningful and purposeful service.

As global citizens our young people are provided with opportunities to take principled action and engage in service inspired and instigated by their learning within the classroom and through the extra curricular provision in place.

Seven learning outcomes guide students and are used as a means for students to self reflect on how they approach and engage with this important aspect of their service learning.

• become more aware of their own strengths and areas for growth

• undertake challenges that develop new skills

• discuss, evaluate and plan student-initiated activities

• persevere in action

• work collaboratively with others

• develop international-mindedness through global engagement, multilingualism and intercultural understanding

• consider the ethical implications of their actions.
