Exploring the virtual world in the classroom
If you've watched the news, you have probably seen stories about Virtual Reality and wondered what you can do with it. As a school, we have wondered the same thing! So, a few years ago we bought some VR headsets to trial them and see how they can be used in education. We had a look at which one was the easiest to use and also reviewed which applications were available on each device. In January this year, the first Year 7 students had the opportunity to start learning how to do 3D modelling in Virtual Reality.

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.

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.
