International Baccalaureate Diploma
Founded in 1968, the International Baccalaureate ® (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation offering the highly respected Diploma programme of international education to develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalising world.
If you have found after completing Year 11 that the HSC is not your pathway, and you desire a global option - to access universities around the world - with a rich core of philosophy and community service , you could join us for IB One (the first year of the IB Diploma Program).
