IB Information Evening<br />
Dozens of parents came to hear<br />
about the International<br />
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme<br />
(IBDP) that is offered at GIS.<br />
As Year 11 students prepare to take<br />
their IGCSE, many are thinking<br />
about staying on to take IB, the<br />
world’s leading pre-university<br />
course. GIS has been offering IB<br />
longer than any other school in the<br />
area. IB co-ordinator Mr Fraser gave a presentation about what is involved and then<br />
current IB1 students spoke about how they were finding the course.<br />
Parents and students then had a chance to talk to subject teachers. A similar evening, but<br />
for IGCSEs, was held the following week for Year 9 students, who will be starting their<br />
IGCSEs once the new school year begins in August.<br />
Electrolux Visit<br />
By Taya (IB1)<br />
IB1 Humanitarian students took a trip to the Electrolux factory in Rayong. We were<br />
separated into two groups and shown round the Research and Development area, where<br />
we were told how test the vibration of the washing machines and how long a machine can<br />
wash before it breaks down.<br />
Moving on from that, the production line was a big warehouse and there we saw the<br />
injection-moulding machine. The manager also showed us how staff had their very own<br />
stations on the production line. The trip was a fun and interesting way to learn about the<br />
process of testing and making a product.
