Global Citizen Diploma Stories
If you don’t know how to share your GCD story, continue reading.
Here are some ways you can share your story (there are others)
- – you can tell your story (like an interview)
- – you can make a PPT with or without audio *
- – you can record yourself talking (video or audio) *
- – you can write your story (like an essay) *
- – interpretative dance
* these will likely require editing, reshooting etc, whereas telling your story through an interpretative dance probably will not need any editing.
Contact Ms Anna for clarifications.
Deadline Dec 14th.

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.
