LMC Talk for Personal Project Students

The LMC has organized and imparted the talk How to Tackle my Personal Project Research for HS students of Year 10 who are going through the process of developing their Personal Project.

The Personal Project formally assesses students’ approaches to learning skills for self-management, research, communication and critical thinking. Students explore an area of personal interest over an extended period in which they will develop important skills they will need in both further education and life beyond the classroom.

The Library provides support, guidance and advice on research skills and approaches through a variety of resources and informative talks. Throughout the duration of the project, the Library aids in keeping students on track and orientates them regarding their background and ongoing reading.

The Library also offers ample instruction about digital platforms of the school library and external sources to aid students in their research process. It also guides students in best practices to foster optimal learning, and to avoid pitfalls such as plagiarism.
