Year 13 Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibitions

Year 13 presented their TOK Exhibitions to the Year 12s and other members of the Nexus Community. The exhibition involves learners choosing 3 'objects' to explore a knowledge issue such as the role of experts in influencing our acquisition of knowledge. The aim of the exhibition is for learners to demonstrate how TOK concepts manifest in the real world. Year 13 did a great job and spoke confidently on a range of issues. 

Careers and University Notices

The Unifrog platform is designed to support learners in making the most informed decisions about their futures and has a range of tools that are suitable for all year groups. 

Key features of the platform include:

• Exploring Pathways – personality quizzes, career and subject profiles, MOOCs, and webinars

• Recording – self-reflection about extracurricular activities and key employability skills

• Opportunities – search tools showing live vacancies, courses, and placements for universities around the world, virtual work experience and much more

• Applications – tools to help students build applications for a range of pathways (e.g., resumés, Common App Essays, personal statements)

We would encourage you to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of deciding their next step. We have also set up a parent login so that you can use Unifrog as if you were a student yourself, allowing you to support your child throughout the process. The sign up code you need is: NEXSparents and you can sign up here: www.unifrog.org/code
