This week, as our school engaged in the IB Evaluation visit, our MYP and DP1 students came together for a meaningful assembly to mark the UN International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The moment offered students the opportunity to reflect on the historical impact of the transatlantic slave trade and to honour the memory of its victims. Through shared reflections and discussion, students explored how this legacy continues to shape our world today.
The assembly also encouraged students to connect history with the present, considering the importance of promoting equality, justice and human dignity in their everyday lives. Particular attention was given to the concepts of equity and fairness within our school community, reinforcing the role each individual plays in building a respectful and inclusive environment.
Taking place during the IB Evaluation week, this assembly was a powerful reminder of what an IB education truly stands for: not only academic rigour, but also the development of international-minded, principled and caring individuals.
Moments like this remind us that education is not only about understanding the past, but about shaping a more conscious and responsible future.
