Reminder: Child Protection Training & Quiz

Hi Everyone,

A reminder that we have introduced a new asynchronous format for this year’s Child Protection & Safeguarding Basics Training. This training is an annual requirement for our accreditation and ensures that all staff are informed and equipped to uphold our child safeguarding responsibilities. The new format provides greater flexibility and personalization to support your learning.

Below are the resources you’ll need to review key information about child protection & safeguarding for this year:

After reviewing the materials, please complete the Child Protection and Safeguarding – Basics Training Quiz. To meet the requirements, you must achieve a passing grade of 100%. The quiz can be retaken as many times as needed to reach this score. Please ensure that the quiz is completed by August 31, 2025.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to Scott, Zhang Bo, or Sandra.

Thank you for your commitment to ensuring a safe and supportive environment for our students.

Students Speak: A Global Documentary Project

Students from our sister GCD school in Madagascar are launching a global, student-led documentary on the real issues young people face today—such as academic pressure, mental health, and IB-related stress. They are inviting three motivated students from each GCD school to join the international team and contribute through filming, interviewing, editing, or organizing. Together, these voices will form one powerful film reflecting the diverse realities of our generation.

If you are interested, please contact Ms Anna before Wednesday for more information.
