G8 Personal Project: Home

The personal project allows students to consolidate their learning and develop important skills they’ll need in further education and life beyond the classroom. It also helps them develop the confidence to become principled, lifelong learners.

The elements of the personal project

The personal project formally assesses students’ approaches to learning (ATL) skills for self-management, research, communication, critical and creative thinking, and collaboration.

The project is made up of a process, a product, and a reflective report.

1. process —ideas, criteria, developments, challenges, plans, research, possible solutions, and progress reports
2. product or outcome—evidence of tangible or intangible results: what the student was aiming to achieve or create
3. report—an account of the project and its impact, to a structure that follows the assessment criteria. The report describes both the process of creating the project and an evaluation of the impact of the process on the student or their learning.

You have a personal logbook in which you keep track of your thoughts, the actions you undertake, and the processes you follow to achieve your goal. Your teacher will have provided you with a link to your logbook.
