GRAFFITI and SYMBOLS OF HATE

Lately, there has been a rise in graffiti and the appearance of symbols of hate in different areas around the school. The use of signs and symbols of hate goes against everything that we stand for at LCCHS and will not be tolerated.

Claiming ignorance is not an excuse. Know better to do better.

IB UPDATE!!

Portfolio and IB reflectionsIt is time to work on your IB portfolio. It should be taken seriously as it represents your effort, your involvement and your development as a learner throughout this school year. It is also a mandatory requirement at LCCHS to stay in the programme.

3 important documents to have completed

- We are switching to Google Drive for your portfolio.

- A table with the different samples of work that you need to upload into your portfolio. You will need the work itself AND the rubric covering the 4 criteria of each subject. In some cases, one project might have covered the 4 criteria. In that case, you would upload the project and the rubric. In some cases, only one criterion was covered. In this case, you will need 4 pieces of work and four rubrics to cover that subject.

- The Portfolio reflection for this school year. You need to make a copy, add it into your portfolio folder and complete it seriously.

Deadline to complete your portfolio: Friday, June 3rd. It will give us the time to review them and meet with students if necessary.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach one of us:
