.    Grade 12 Chemistry students are making excellent progress this term. They have successfully covered S1, S2, S3, R1 (with the HL section yet to be done), R2 (with equilibrium pending), and nearly all of Organic Chemistry in R3, except for acids, bases, and redox reactions. This means we have now completed about three-quarters of the syllabus—a very significant milestone.

The highlight of this past week is that students have finalized their topics and research questions for the Internal Assessment in Chemistry. This is always a rigorous and demanding process, but I am pleased to see their commitment and enthusiasm as they embark on this independent exploration.
