The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at Kambala - Part 6

The IB Diploma: What makes the IB pathway to matriculation, distinctive and rewarding? The IB pathway incorporates Epistemology - the science of knowing. This is achieved through a unique subject offering known as TOK, or Theory of Knowledge. Additionally, the requirement to engage in a program of Creativity, Activity and Service which we call CAS, results in our students giving back, even before they have completed a wonderful Kambala education. Often we see a synthesis of student learning in the Extended Essay, a pre-tertiary research project that allows IB candidates to direct their own learning. In conversation with Principal Jane Danvers are Head of IB Phillip Bird, Deputy Principal Carolyn Gedling and Kambala educators Pip Peters, Tim Hay and Nikki McDonald. Former IB students from Kambala include Amelie Piggott and Amber Hoddle. Sound Engineer: Nathan Barraclough Presenter: Jane Danvers Producer: Anna Messariti
