There are three main objectives to the personal project, each of which align with the assessment criteria: planning, applying skills and reflecting. Each objective is broken down further into two or three separate strands which relate to the overall objective. Something to keep in mind when examining the personal project objectives is that they are interactive. Although students will approach the personal project by planning then applying skills and reflecting, they will notice that each step relies on the other steps in order to successfully engage in all the objectives. Within each step of the objectives, students will engage in inquiry, action and reflection. The inquiry process is not linear and there is multiple overlap between each of the objectives.
