Game On! Building Connection Through Creativity and Play

As the culminating experience of the IB Middle Years Programme, the Grade 10 Personal Project challenges students to pursue a topic of personal interest, apply their learning in meaningful ways, and create something that reflects both their growth and individuality.

This year’s exhibition showcased a wide range of projects, from creative writing and engineering to wellness and design, each one representing months of independent inquiry and skill development.

One standout project came from Julia, who designed and built two custom cornhole boards for the school courtyard. Complete with a hand-painted ISP falcon, her boards now provide a fun, community-centred activity that students enjoy daily during breaks.

By combining hands-on craftsmanship with school spirit and a desire to enhance campus life, Julia created something both practical and enduring - an inspiring example of how a personal passion can make a public impact.
