Targeted Tuition Seminar

As a means of rectifying common mistakes and preparing the boys for their final examinations, a group of distinguished OSCs headed by Mrs Samantha Scott delivered four specific study skills seminars on 23 and 24 July.

Targeted at students currently sitting on an IB grade of 4 or a WACE grade of C, these sessions drew upon the OSCs' detailed knowledge of past exam papers, moderated this knowledge with the insights of the teaching staff, and finally produced a succession of sessions aimed at empowering the boys with an accessible breakdown of their exams. Along with this breakdown the boys were directed to a plethora of available resources, both as a means of filling conceptual gaps and testing the limits of their acquired knowledge. One of the key concepts reinforced throughout all the IB sessions was the importance of collaboration: as the Baccalaureate programme is not scaled, students are rewarded for studying in groups. The sessions were also marked by a sense of optimism shared between the current students and OSCs: a confidence that, while looming, the task ahead of them is accessible and the rewards immeasurable.

We wish the boys all the best as they undertake the final leg of their academic journey.
