PLEASE talk to me before doing this.

Late registration deadline is September 3rd.

Grade 12; the deadline for the final Extended Essay is in December. Will you meet it? To help you with this goal I will be running Extended Essay workshops in the Library every Thursday until December 7th. All Grade 12 students are welcome. This is an opportunity for you to work in a quiet place with help on hand to answer questions or to keep you focused. See you later..

Hello MYP/DP students. Today is the day!
