On 25 October 1968 the International Baccalaureate Programme was born in Geneva in Switzerland. It was based around the idea that the way to lasting peace in the world was through the education of the young to become globally aware, empathetic, well-rounded members of society with a deep understanding of culture, service to others and academic rigour.

This year, our new Year 12 boys joined in the celebrations as part of a community of over 1.4 million students aged 3-19 around the world by enjoying birthday cupcakes during their Group 4 Science days. Happy Birthday, IB!
