By Judy An and Candy Kim
On August 16th 2013, 11th and 12th graders went to an IB Diploma Program retreat trip that was organized with Insight Adventures. The location for this retreat was Yangshuo (About 70 minutes outside of Xiamen). This trip was provided at no additional cost and included overnight accommodations. This trip was to enhance team building among the two grades, discuss the IB core requirements, and gain further understanding of the IB Program. They participated in activities such as icebreaker games, team building, and catapult building. For the 11th graders, it was an introductory program to the DP and for 12th graders, it was an academic activity before their final year. Ms. Jacobson, Mr. Wagor, Ms. Dirilgen, and Mr. Tooley also went on the trip to conduct sessions on different areas of the IB and to supervise students.
