EAGLE TRACT

Dear Eagle Family,

I warmly welcome the entire Eagle Family back to school and trust the students have rested and spent quality time bonding with family and friends during the break.
We hope to take a step forward toward our educational goals as we begin a new term for the middle school and continue the second semester for the elementary school.

This month, we are focusing on the IB Learner Profile attribute "Principled." We encourage our students to act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice, and respect for the dignity of individuals, groups, and communities. Through embodying this characteristic, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and accountability in our students, preparing them to become principled global citizens.

We are thrilled to highlight the forthcoming Primary Years Programme (PYP) Exhibition slated for April 26, 2024. During this exhibition, our students will showcase their creativity, inquiry, and collaborative spirit through various forms of action arising from their learning in the Primary Years Programme. It will be an inspiring opportunity to witness the incredible growth and development of our young learners.

Let us embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and continue supporting our students as we navigate the remainder of the academic year. Together, we will make it a memorable and successful one for our students.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in our shared mission of nurturing lifelong learners.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Gifty Agbeshie
Acting Head of School

On March 5th, the school community commemorated Ghana's Independence Day under the theme: "Reflecting on the past and embracing the future." The day featured an assembly, where students dressed in traditional attire, showcasing their talents and patriotism. They engaged in educational activities centered on Ghana's history and culture. The celebration served as a reminder to honor roots and cherish the journey to freedom.

As a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP), we value Interdisciplinary learning as a core component of the Programme. This comprises units that are designed to encourage students to make connections between different subject areas and explore issues or concepts from multiple perspectives.

These units are structured around a central theme or concept and allow students to delve deeply into the subject matter while also developing critical thinking, research, communication, and collaborative skills.

On March 22, 2024, tenth-grade students set out on an educational trip to Kumasi and Bonwire in the Ashanti region. The main goal of the trip was to expose students to the cultural heritage of Kumasi and offer them direct exposure to traditional artistic techniques as part of learning in an Interdisciplinary Unit (IDU).

The C.I.A. Arts Exhibition dubbed "Colors on Canvas" was an exciting event that occurred on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at Masua Campus. Our students crafted remarkable art pieces, signed them, and priced them for sale. It was an excellent opportunity to support our young artists while engaging the school community on the theme "Cultural diversity and international mindedness''.

On Wednesday March 20, 2024, we celebrated International Francophonie Day with an assembly where students enthusiastically took part in special performances highlighting the theme of promoting positive communication and open-mindedness through the French language.

Kindergarten students had a great time exploring various activities during their creativity unit. They engaged in practical tasks, experiments, and discussions, which allowed them to develop their creativity by mixing colors to create beautiful artworks, as well as composing songs and choreographing dances.

The PYP Exhibition marks the peak of academic achievement for students in the final year of the IB PYP. During this learning journey, students engage in weeks of collaborative and independent endeavors, delving deeply into real-world issues through inquiry and exploration. Mentors play a crucial role by guiding and facilitating students' research, offering support, advice, and expertise to help them explore their chosen topics effectively. This year's PYP Exhibition Event will be held on April 26, 2024.

The C.I.A. staff day out at Safari Valley Resort dubbed ‘Let’s Go Get Oxygen’ was an initiative to promote wellbeing and team building. The trip offered a unique opportunity for team members to bond while immersing themselves in the nature and serenity at the facility. Amidst the tours, animal encounters, and some team-building activities in the beautiful surroundings, our staff truly enjoyed a well-deserved break.
