In the MYP students take part in service activities in our school, local and global community. Learners in Grade 6 – 7 are expected to take part in one short-term service activity per school year and Grades 8 – 10 learners are expected to take part in two service activities per school year, one short-term and one long-term. In addition, in Grade’s 6 and 7 learners work within their grade group on a collaborative project guided by the MYP Service Coordinator. Students in Grades 8 – 10 become involved in projects of their own choosing. It is wonderful to note that many learners see these as the minimum requirement and will become actively involved in multiple long-term activities or short-term activities.

Reflection is a vital element of the service programme at ISH and learners reflect on their actions in relation to service learning outcomes and the specific goals of each project.

ISH has a variety of service activities operating including many student-led activities. Our service activities are showcased twice a year in our Service Expo, held in conjunction with the Diploma Programme. Students are able to join new activities and to see the progress and successes of our service projects.
