IB Core Subject Enhancements and Support Measures

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the IB Core subjects at MLC School, the Curriculum Office has implemented several key changes to support both students and staff. These adjustments are aimed at ensuring a structured and effective learning experience for our students at while providing the necessary support for our teachers.

Additional Teaching Support for CAS                                                         

 To further enrich the students’ CAS experience, we have introduced an additional layer of support. Teachers are working collaboratively to provide guidance and assistance, ensuring students receive consistent support in their CAS journey. A dedicated combined session will now take place once a fortnight when both classes are scheduled simultaneously, specifically on Friday of every Week A. These sessions will focus on assisting students with logging their experiences into ManageBac and addressing any questions they may have. This initiative ensures students receive structured support, fostering a more seamless CAS experience.

New CAS Coordinator Appointment                                                          

We are pleased to announce the appointment of a new CAS Coordinator, Stavroula Koulouris, who will oversee the efficient running of the CAS programme. Stavroula will provide ongoing support for both students and teachers, ensuring a consistent and structured approach across all CAS classes. Her leadership will further strengthen the programme, offering students greater clarity and guidance as they navigate their CAS requirements and develop essential life skills that reflect the IB Learner Profile.

Future Enhancements                                                                                  

We remain committed to fostering a structured and supportive learning environment for our IB students. The valuable feedback from parents and staff has played a key role in shaping recent improvements to our IB Core offerings.

These enhancements aim to reduce student anxiety, allowing them to focus more effectively on their learning and development. We appreciate the ongoing engagement and support of our community and look forward to the positive impact of these changes. Our dedication to providing the best possible IB experience remains unwavering.

Warm regards from the Curriculum Office.
