Parents
can avail of two different types of conferences: drop-in and by appointment.
Drop-in
appointments are scheduled from 8:00 until 10:00 am and will take place in the

An Invitation from Ms. Bade - IB Psychology
Teacher
You are
invited to participate in our Psychology Experiment Event!
For the
internal assessment for IB Psychology, students must replicate a peer-reviewed,
published study with participants over the age of 16. Each group needs at least
20 volunteers. Please join us, and bring some friends, for a Psychology
Experiment Event!
This
shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes of your time and will be a whole lotta fun!
You can participate in as many different experiments as you would like to be
involved in (there are 3 being run). Each group will be using a classroom as
their “lab”; they will conduct the experiment a few different times to ensure
enough (and appropriate) data for their experiment.
