“Going through year twelve was a learning experience, the IB meant we had to handle new things quickly. It was hard to find the balance between working too hard and not working enough. Now in year 13, I’m finding the Diploma much more manageable. Year 12 has taught us the skills in order to succeed in our exams this year”
- Sarah Walling: Head Girl, Year 13 2010

“By taking every opportunity and challenge thrown at me has made me realise I was capable of far more than I thought. Being head boy of the school pushed me to being involved heavily with my school life and socially too. It has been the toughest years to balance and prioritise, but the IB has rewarded all my hard effort and taught me lessons I will never forget”
- Shyam Devani: Head Boy, Year 13 2010
