Years 12 & 13

Dear Parents and Guardians of Years 12-13 students,
I am writing to you about the provision of textbooks for the Experimental Sciences in the IB Diploma Programme. The Experimental Sciences include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Systems and Societies, and for these subjects, at Renaissance College, we use one learning and teaching source: Kognity.
The cost of the textbook is HK$720 and you will be charged through your e-payment account. No other textbook purchase for Science subjects will be required.
Kognity enhances student engagement, with opportunities for pre-reading, follow-up after a lesson, revision activities, and practice exam questions, all of which can be monitored by the teacher. In addition, it allows agency, encouraging students to be more actively involved in their own learning and attainment.
Yours sincerely,
Mandy So
Head of Sciences
