On Monday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Monash University from Melbourne, Australia. During a productive lunch session, students explored the diverse opportunities Monash offers. Renowned as the top university in Australia for Pharmacy, Nursing, Finance, Business, Computer Science, and Engineering, Monash is also celebrated for its wide array of double degree programs.
Additionally, several of our non-diploma students attended to learn about Monash's tailored diploma pathways, which allow students to enroll without completing the full IBDP Diploma.
On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of hosting 14 universities from across Canada! With over 100 students visiting the university booths, it was an engaging and busy morning. Students were eager to learn more about their options as they embark on their university search and educational journey.
The event was filled with insightful questions and valuable conversations, making it a fantastic experience for our Grade 11 students who are beginning to explore the courses and countries they might study in next year.
