Current Affairs Presentations (CAP) are weekly presentations on current affairs, historical events, country profiles, and more. These in-depth presentations occur every Tuesday and are open to the entire school. CAP aims to give students access to comprehensive information about the world around us, and create a place for them to share their interests. We hope to see you at the next presentation!
