An intensive three day workshop was organised for Year 1 IB DP candidates. The workshops covered several areas including Data Analysis, Research and Referencing, Academic Honesty, Extended Essay, CAS and Writing Skills. Each of these workshops was organised with an aim of developing a pool of skills among the students which would in turn enable them to effectively deal with the pressure of Year 2 submissions. These workshops were also planned with a view that students are life long learners and shall need these skills every step of the way in future.
