going on to do now.

A central, worthwhile and exciting
part of the IB programme. You will
take part in a variety of extracurricular activities, comprising
some artistic or creative work,
昀椀tness and volunteering in the
community similiar to the Duke of
Edinburgh's Award.

topic of particular interest to you
in any subject. A teacher will work
with you individually to help you

昀椀nal mark.
I'm now hoping to study
either International
