Opening Doors to the Future

For many students, like DP 1 and WACE 11, this fair was a crucial first step in their journey towards higher education. Representatives from each university were on hand to answer questions, provide advice, and guide students through the application process. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn about the diverse academic paths available and to start thinking seriously about future career goals.

As the first university fair of the year, this event set a high standard for the ones to follow. The enthusiasm from both students and university representatives was palpable, and it was clear that our students are eager to explore the world and all it has to offer.

We look forward to seeing where our student’s journeys take them and are excited to host more events that open doors to new opportunities.

TOK Presentation

On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition.

For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator. This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose.

The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
