EAGLE TRACT

Dear Eagle Family,

I welcome you to March, dubbed ‘Heritage Month’ for our school community.

We have selected ‘Courageous’ as the Learner Profile attribute we hope to exhibit throughout this month.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to face it, step out of your comfort zone, and take bold steps towards your goals.

For our students, this may mean trying a new extracurricular activity, speaking up in class, or pursuing a passion that they have been hesitant to explore. We urge you to be courageous in your pursuits, for it is through courage that we grow and learn the most.

We kindly ask all parents for your continued support in fostering a culture of courage among our students. Encourage them to take risks, to learn from their failures, and to persevere in the face of challenges.

Your involvement in your child's education is invaluable as experts usually opine that when parents are actively engaged in their children’s education, they are more likely to succeed.

Let us work together as a school community to instill courage in our students, to empower them to be the best versions of themselves, and to create a future filled with endless possibilities.

Thank you for your continued collaboration.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Gifty Agbeshie

Ag.Head of School

The maiden edition of our reading quest has been a wonderful journey filled with fun activities such as reading and word drill, reading station set ups, story writing etc. In the grand finale, students immersed themselves in emotional and character-filled readings. They engaged with excerpts from the books shared on ManageBac and engaged in a fun guessing game to identify the names of these characters.

Unit 3 for MYP 2 was centered on Media and Mass Communication. Students learnt about the types of media and mass communication as well as the parts of a newspaper article.

A field trip to the Graphic Communications Group was organized for the students to reinforce what was learnt in class. They learnt about the newspapers and what goes into the production .

Students were also told about the brands of newspaper that the company produces. The Junior Graphic was one of the favorite brands the students could identify with. In addition, they examined the type of paper and the process involved in making newspapers.

This special day is recognized worldwide and celebrated on February 21. It offers an opportunity to honor the linguistic diversity within our school community. To commemorate this occasion, students represented their mother language in diverse ways through poems, songs and languages spoken.

The Unit Preview with Parents in the Middle school was exciting and engaging. It was organized to help parents have a sneak-peak into the new unit, Unit 4. In addition, parents were introduced to the concept of Interdisciplinary Unit (IDU).

We hope to see more parents patronize the UPP in subsequent units.

The PYP and MYP sharing is one of the avenue C.I.A. uses to engage parents in their child's education. The purpose of the sharing was to educate and engage parents on some important aspects of the IB program. The recent meeting with parents discussed the Approaches to Learning (skills) which is one essential aspect of the curriculum and how parents can collaborate with the school community to emphasize its role in the IB.

Congratulations to Seyram Nyakpo for clinching the first position, Daniella Akonor for securing second place, and Ama Ampaw for achieving third place in the grand finale of the C.I.A. Spell It Right Competition!

The overall winner won an all expense paid trip to Dubai, a trophy and a gold medal to crown her well-deserved victory .

Together with the first and second runner up they all walked away with an HP Pavilion x360 laptop which is specifically designed for flexibility and also has a 360 degrees rotating screen and an intel processor. The first runner up took home a silver medal while the second runner up was also given a bronze medal to signify their victory

These three exceptional students won a variety of school supplies and a certificate of participation.

It was an exciting and intense journey filled with linguistic skills and determination.

Kudos to all the participants for showcasing their talents and making the competition a memorable one.

In relation to the unit on location, students explored the various biomes and made posters on them.
