Whole School IB Learner Profile Focus
Our whole learning community plays an important part in developing, valuing, appreciating and demonstrating the Learner Profile in action. Each week at BNPS, we demonstrate and celebrate the Learner Profile attributes across the school in classrooms and specialist settings. The IB Learner Profile represents attributes valued by IB World Schools. These attributes can help individuals become responsible members of the local and global communities.
