The grade 10 students had the first of a series of workshops on majors, universities, the IB, and grade 11 options. The students had been already introduced to the IB program last year. This time around students have to make tentative decisions regarding choice of track next year and college majors.

There was a serious convention, with serious students, around a serious looking round table. The IB1 students were delegates from different African countries, discussing Agenda 2063: "The Africa we Need". This African Union mock simulation was done in Mr Joe Rachid's English class. UN, take notice!

The first IB student meeting of the year was for grade 10, and was held on October 1, 2021. This orientation meeting was informative, involving a short lecture followed by a Q and A session. Despite the facial masks and the social distancing, the workshop was successful and it set the students thinking about the prospects of joining the IBDP next school year.

Here is a picture of some of the attendees. And another picture.
