PERSONAL PROJECT EXHIBITION 2020

Message from Mr. Pulfer Congratulations, Grade 10s!

This is the end of the road for you with the Personal Project. The Personal Project showcase is the final event in your Personal Project journey that started over a year ago! Well done, everyone.

I have been so proud of you and the diverse range of initiatives that you have pursued- from dunking a basketball to a cookbook on Armenian cuisine to learning Punjabi and Japanese as well as several initiatives looking out for the mental health of students at Stratford Hall!

It has been quite a year. I am confident that you have learned a great deal from your Personal Project experience, both from the process and from the topic that you chose to explore.

This is also close to the end of your experience in the Middle Years Programme. For some of you, it has been five years!

Congratulations on that achievement as well.

Best of luck as you start the Diploma Programme next year.

Sincerely, Mark Pulfer MYP Coordinator
