Lunch Buddies G12
Take a break from the busy-ness of IB by slowing down and having lunch with K2 students. The commitment is only once a week until the Winter Holidays. Eating together is a great chance for the K2s to connect socially with the G12s. Eating together also encourages healthier eating habits, the sharing of stories and learning of social skills and etiquette. This is a win-win. For the G12s, this is brain break from the hours of studying and screen time. This could help you focus, increase your productivity and reduce your stress.
Mondays, Wednesdays or Thursdays – Lunch 1
Starts: October 18th
Supervising Teachers: Ms Anna Mila and Mr Seth.

Library Use at Lunch

Hello Secondary Learners,

A few important points about Library use at lunchtime:

  1. The library is a space for quiet study, reading, and small group work.
  2. Please be considerate of other students and teachers in this space.
  3. You can also access the mezzanine (2nd floor) of the Cafeteria during Lunch Two to hangout.
  4. Outside and the gym are also spaces you can be for louder activities 🙂

Please see Ms. Romero with any questions. Thanks for helping us make the library a nice space for all!
