Extended Essay Celebration! The class of 2020 has finished their extended essays. Extended Essays are 4000-word research papers that form part of the core of the IB Diploma Program. This challenging activity stretches students academically and helps them to hone their research and writing skills as they prepare for university. Come celebrate this milestone and hear the students talk about their projects on 18 November from 10:00-12:30. You can learn more later in this newsletter.
