The Art Exhibition

Given the busy schedule of IB, it is often really easy to forget about your hobbies to focus on academics for an exam or a predicted grade instead. I think it is kind of sad if we let go or give up midway the hobbies we love, because they are eventually what we do to find out who we truly are. This art exhibition is a tribute to years of perseverance and passion on my part as well as Eugene’s, who happens to be dedicated to the same field as I am. We want to share our love for the arts by displaying some of the artworks that we are most proud of and hope that students could have fun as the term is coming to a close.

Marlon Devonish Elite Performance A to Z: Lifelong Learning

Learning never stops. In fact, you could say that after you leave school there is even more to learn than ever before. However, the earlier we start to engrain a philosophy of lifelong learning into our young people, the better. Professional athletes make lifelong learning a habit from an early age because they know that they cannot reach peak performance without it.

Marlon Devonish Elite Performance A to Z: K for Knowledge Applied

Knowledge applied is the process of gaining both the prerequisite knowledge and the hands experience you need to excel in the shortest possible timeframe. My thirst for knowledge has driven me to travel the world seeking new ideas and different perspectives. I have never been intimidated by those who are better than me – I see them more as an opportunity to learn and push myself to the next level. However, it is my dedication to training and my appetite to take a calculated risk and try something new that has over time, given me invaluable experience, on the track, in business, and in education.
