To help students prepare for the school year starting in August, the Heads of Department have prepared the IBDP planning guide (linked below). It includes suggestions for inspirational reading and activities in the separate subject areas, and an outline of the materials that they encourage students studying those particular subjects to be focused on when they arrive. The purpose of the recommended reading is to inspire and stimulate.
In the lead-up to Orientation, please be sure to continue to check this website as we will add information and provide updates. Details for orientation will be provided closer to the day, to find out which days you need to attend, please see the Orientation Overview.
The first day of school for all students will be on Tuesday, 18 August.
Enjoy the school holidays and we look forward to welcoming you back to campus in August and to working with you in the new school year!
All students in Grades 6–12 must have an up-to-date Apple MacBook laptop to support their learning and complete the Ready Learner One programme before the start of school.
New families joining the College in August 2020 have two options to source a laptop:
use an Apple laptop that you already own
purchase a new Apple laptop
This letter provides details on the laptop and orientation requirements.
