Extended Essay and Personal Project CelebrationThank you to all the parents of G11 and G12 students who joined us for an evening of learning last night. We listened to short presentations done by the G12s who have now finished their Extended Essay (EE) after a 12 month journey of struggle and triumph. Although the students discussed their struggles and shortcomings, many parents marvelled at the research skills, depth of knowledge of the topics and the time management skills that these seniors exhibited. The EE supervisors were so proud of their students! Ms. Moss and Ms. Turner also handed out the IB certificates to the G11s for their completion of the personal project last year and then the G11s moved between the G12 presentations trying to figure out what research question they want to use for their own EE journeys which start this week.
