Community & Service

Community and Service (C&S) is an essential component of MYP Programme. It is well integrated into MYP curriculum in different subject areas through Year 7 to Year 11.

Our MYP Community & Service programme is designed to encourage empathy and respect.

Students can benefit from:

  • increased awareness of need in the community
  • sharing skills, talents and resources
  • developing leadership and cooperative skills
  • gaining insight into different social patterns and ways of life

Requirements for Year 10 and 11 students

In order to gain the MYP certificate, students must successfully complete the Community & Service programme by using their own free time.

Students should record all the activities that they have participated into their student organizers and submit a C&S Reflection Essay, which will be evaluated by advisory teachers and be presented to parents in the Student-Led Conference by the end of the school year.

In the C&S Reflection Essay, students must produce evidence that they have met the following criteria:

  1. Identify and coordinate a C&S activity
  2. Work collaboratively with others
  3. Show perseverance and commitment in their activities
  4. Engage with issues of global importance
  5. Develop new skills
  6. Demonstrate in-depth reflection
