Grade 11 Students Begin Their Junior Project Journey

October 8, 2026

On the afternoon of September 30, during the CAS class, all Grade 11students gathered in their respectivhomeroom classes to listen to their teacher's introduction to the Junior Project. As one of the key collaborative projects in Grade 11, the Junior Project encourages students to apply what they have learned in class and their individual strengths to real-world issues, while continuously exploring and practicing through teamwork.


The Junior Project is a year-long small-group research project designed to encourage students to step beyond the classroom and into the community. Under the guidance of supervising teachers, students will work in groups to identify real-world problems, conduct research, and propose practical solutions. The project runs from September to April of the following year, and each group is required to regularly clarify responsibilities and track progress.



During the class presentation, the teacher explained the project timeline and grading criteria in detail, and emphasized the importance of teamwork, critical thinking, and social responsibility. At the end of the school year, each group will present its research results, and outstanding projects will have the opportunity to take part in a grade-level presentation.


At the end of the presentation, students were reminded once again that the Junior Project is not only a long-term academic assignment but also an opportunity to develop teamwork, initiative, and problem-solving skills. Through this presentation, students have gained a clearer understanding of the upcoming project arrangements. They will also begin to form teams, explore topics of interest, and take the first step toward completing the Junior Project.
