On Monday 4th December 2023, our school hosted a special event to celebrate the achievements of our IB2 students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Core components: Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and the Extended Essay of the students. The students had the opportunity to talk to the whole IB community, i.e. students, teachers and parents, about their experiences and the insights they have gained throughout this challenging journey. There has also been an exhibition of artwork created by the Visual Arts students of the IBDP department.
What we first try to achieve in the two years of the IB programme is to offer knowledge to our students, mainly through a process of personal inquiry. In this way they will move from being passive recipients of knowledge to becoming active co-creators of knowledge for life.
TOK is a unique way to seek, test, question and promote knowledge. It is widely accepted that science is not over when the answers are over but when the questions are over.
The Extended Essay is an excellent way to search for sources, analyze data, process information, compare results, draw conclusions and gain new knowledge. It is worth emphasizing that continuous reflection throughout the Extended Essay also leads to the acquisition of an extremely important skill, such as the active quest for knowledge.
CAS cultivates in a unique way empathy, understanding of our fellow human beings and contemporary problems, taking action and responsibility to change from something small to something big around us and within us, putting a new filter on our vision: "mindfulness".
We are grateful to the following teachers for the excellent organization of the event:
The presence of parents added to the joy of the occasion and we believe their support means a lot to the students, who have worked tirelessly to meet the rigorous standards of the IB Core.
