IB Diploma Centre Official Opening - 2011

On Tuesday 13th September the Diploma Centre finally received the opening that it deserved with a gathering of parents and teachers to celebrate the centre and all that it promises over the years to come. The brainchild many years ago of Deborah Bailey the HS secretary and Virginia McKniff the College Councellor who both had seen and understood the need of Diploma students at ACS Egham to have a place that they could gather, work together and identify as their space.

Already students feel very much at home - and there is a tangible difference in the work ethics and Grade 11 and 12 spirit from the start of this year.

Mr. Lewis in his speech at the opening explained how he has noticed this change and hopes that it will continue to build on ACS Egham students' excellent achievement in the Diploma program

There is a dedicated lounge space (seen above) with room for tables for collaborative learning. There is also a quiet study space with computing facilities for the necessary independant study that all Diploma students particpate in (seen below.)
