Welcome to the Sydney Academy International Baccalaureate Program WebSite

This past week, our IB Diploma and Certificate students from grades 11 & 12 took part in an "IB Student Welness Day" in the school library. Our school psychologists presented on Stress & The Brain and the school's Health Centre nurse presented about the services available to students. The group then had a session on journaling, time-management, tracking stress, the power of positivity, and goal planning. In the afternoon, students had the choice to attend a paint session or yoga. There was also a Graffiti Board activity that took place throughout the day. We thank all of the students who attended and the teachers for accommodating our students for the day.  We also thank Mr. Hawbolt and Mrs. Halfyard for facilitating the afternoon activities!
