End of Year Summary

To round off the year 2015/16 there were a number of events from the Midsummer Quiz, Intermediate Biology Olympiad and the Group 4 Science Project.

Students have worked hard throughout the year, taking part in Debates, conferences, residential trips as well as hosting charity events, Open Events and the annual IB Picnic.

The IB Lecturers would like to commend the students for all their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm throughout the year and whilst the Summer break sees many working on their Extended Essay research and finishing IA and Coursework, we hope the many festivals, holidays and days out planned are enjoyed and after an enjoyable and restful summer, they are re energised and ready for the year ahead.

Congratulations

IB Midsummer Quiz

Annual IB Midsummer Quiz




As ever, the IB Midsummer Quiz was a roaring success with over 7 teams competing to win the coveted prize of the Strawberry topped Chocolate Extravaganza Cake as well as raising money for the IB 2015/16 chosen charity: Hope Restored.

From marketing, through to hosting, the IB students were involved in every step of the process. Not only was this a great way to round off a hectic year, but it squeezed in a few more hours for their CAS.

Students and staff from the college came together to spend the afternoon testing both their subject specific skills as well as their general knowledge with topics as wide ranging as Art, Science and Literature to News from 2016 and Musical knowledge.

Whilst it was a close run affair, the staff team of Cai (Psychology)  Arwel (Maths) Gemma (IB1 Programme Leader) Justin (English) were the overall winners.
