2020 PROJECTS
This year has come with many challenges for our community to overcome. The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken our routines and has made us re-think and re-design many of our day to day activities. Our students have proven to be resilient, overcoming this unexpected changes and challenges. Now more than ever, students have demonstrated their use of ATL skills and their growth as IB learners.
We want to invite all of the Westhill community to join the power of learning, in our very first virtual MYP exhibition of our students’ personal projects!
NOTE: due to privacy concerns for our students, the presentations for the projects do not include pictures or images of any of our students.
