We can share our own stories or we can read one together, or we can read just a part of a story. Stories give us endless opportunities to imagine, create and change scenarios as we please or need!

They are entertaining but also healing in terms of emotions, self-awareness and self-esteem. And if you connect with an easy craft, you get the perfect combo for a relaxing afternoon.

Secondary School

After school workshops 2023-2024

Secondary students are strongly recommended to enroll in the University Preparatory Clubs (UPC) to build up their university application portfolio highlighting their involvement and commitment.

Universities often look for students who are not only strong on the academics side, they want students who are well rounded in everything. From creativity to service to activity, a well-rounded university portfolio is what counts these days.

More importantly, it is critical for high school students to lay these foundations throughout their high school career and not only during the last two years of IB when it is required. This often looks ingenuine at times and Universities are aware of this.
