Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are writing to you to inform you of an upcoming mandatory aspect of your child’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) experience. The Collaborative Sciences Project (CSP), formerly Group 4 Project, is a multidisciplinary activity which encourages IBDP science students to work together to develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their influence on other areas of knowledge within a global and/or local context.

The CSP is compulsory for any student who takes a Group 4 subject and full attendance is expected from all students. We write to you to respectfully seek support in assuring your child’s attendance is complete throughout the full schedule of tasks and activities. 

The CSP will be conducted in school and will take place from Monday, 23 June 23 to Wednesday, 25 June this academic year. Full details of the schedule will be shared with your child inclusive of times and expectations closer to the date. As you plan ahead, please ensure that your child is available to attend school on all these days.

If a student is not able to attend any part of the CSP they must contact Secondary Vice Principal, Ms. Jess Davey-Peel, as soon as possible. As this is a mandatory part of the IBDP, any student not in a position to fulfil this expectation may be required to make alternative arrangements at another ESF school to satisfy the academic requirement.

Thank you for your ongoing and continued support. 

Yours sincerely,
 

Ms. Mandy So

Head of Science
