We celebrated Reflective Ambassadors at our MYP (6-8) Morning Meeting.
What it means to be Reflective...

 They give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development. IB students have developed an ability to reflect on their learning and to articulate how they learnt.
​They have learned that critical reflection is an important academic and life skill.
