TODAY IS THE DAY! Come along to the LGR and talk all things Knowledge! 8.40-10.40 am.
Please join us as we celebrate the TOK Exhibition this Friday, June 7th, in the LGR, blocks 1 and 2, where Grade 11 will share their learning and their rich perspectives, answering the question: How does TOK manifest in the world around us?
We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Practice Being Good-ish: View the feedback as a gift! (Thank you usually works
better that sorry) “Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I really appreciate
you telling me this.
Prioritize Impact: Acknowledge the impact, make commitments to change behaviour and change. “I understand the impact my actions had… I commit to…”
