Crawford International Ruimsig

Breaking News... This just in... Grade Threes report live from the scene of a natural disaster!

To conclude our unit, How the World Works, our Grade Three students became fearless news reporters, delivering live broadcasts from the centre of natural disasters they had carefully researched.

From wildfires to tsunamis, they demonstrated the IB Learner Profile attributes of being Knowledgeable, Inquirers, and Communicators. With curiosity, confidence, and creativity, they brought their learning to life, capturing the urgency, impact, and human stories behind these powerful events.

A wonderful example of inquiry-based learning in action and the development of globally minded learners.

Today we honour the young people who changed the course of history and the young people who continue to shape it.
As a school, we believe in the power of youth to ask bold questions, challenge the ordinary and build something better.

Happy Youth Day.
