Literacy and Lifelong Learning
As an IB World School, we encourage students to be knowledgeable and effective communicators. Reading enhances understanding, sharpens language skills, and opens doors to intercultural perspectives—key aspects of lifelong learning.
This Literacy Week brought our school community together, inspiring everyone to continue their journey of discovery, one book at a time!
