Why do we love the Learner Profile?

At our Monday assemblies, students are often presented with Learner Profile certificates to celebrate their achievements and growth. But what is the Learner Profile and why is it important to us at Coromandel Valley Primary School?

The Learner Profile is a core component of all International Baccalaureate programs as it represents a broad range of human capacities and encourages growth in all areas of learning and life. We love it because the attributes defined in the Learner Profile create a common language in our school community and help the students to develop a well-rounded, growth mindset.

During Term 1, many classes have focused on the Learner Profiles and used them to create class and personal goals, and their classroom essential agreements. Chat to your child about the Learner Profiles; which ones are important to them? Why? How can they use them in their everyday life? We hope that you, too, will find it a useful tool for discussing the attributes you want your child to develop.
