Greetings IBDP Biology students, and welcome back from the summer break! I hope you all were able to relax and recharge over the holidays. As you know, we are now entering the home stretch of your Diploma Programme, so it’s time to get back to work. We have a lot to accomplish in the coming months as you work towards finishing your Internal Assessments and Extended Essays.

This next phase will undoubtedly be one of the most demanding of your academic careers so far. However, I have full confidence in your abilities based on all of the hard work and dedication you’ve demonstrated thus far. You have the skills and intelligence to succeed. Now it’s time to put them to good use to finish strong.

While the workload may feel heavy at times, try to remember why biology sparks your interest. Let that passion drive you when studies become challenging. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for help from me or your peers. We are all in this together.

Now then, let’s get straight to planning our IAs so we stay on track. I’m excited to guide you through this final push. Welcome back, and congratulations on making it this far – now let’s cross that finish line!
