On Wednesday 29 May, for the third year running, our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) students undertook the Ethics Olympiad and after much thinking and reasoning were awarded commendations!
The Ethics Olympiad is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students analyse and discuss real-life, and timely, ethical issues. It differs from a debate in that students are not assigned opposing views rather, they defend whatever position they believe is right and win by showing that they have thought more carefully, deeply, and perceptively about the cases in question. The event encourages and promotes ethical awareness, critical thinking skills, civil discourse, international engagement, and an appreciation for diverse points of view.
Congratulations to the team!

Year 11 IB Economics took a hilarious detour to the Central Market! Our brave students donned their detective hats to unravel the mysteries of demand, supply, and pricing straight from the horse’s mouth – or rather, from the chatty vendors.
They navigated through rejection like pros (blaming it on “busyness,” of course), showing off their social skills and persistence in extracting business secrets. The day wrapped up with a belly full of knowledge, a sprinkle of fun, and just a tad bit of guilt-free gluttony. Who knew economics could taste this good?
