International Baccalaureate Diploma

The IB Diploma Programme was introduced to Kardinia International College in 2005 for students in Years 11 and 12. The introduction of the IB programme at the Diploma level provides a further means of articulating the commitment of the College to international understanding. From the outset the College recognised the fact that in a rapidly changing world, students need to have a broad education that will nurture and challenge them to become principled and reflective learners and listeners.

The IB Diploma Programme requires students to choose from a range of subject areas thereby ensuring breadth of educational experience. The holistic vision of the IB is embedded in the compulsory components:

  • the Extended Essay;
  • Theory of Knowledge and Creativity;
  • Action and Service.

Each of these provides students with the opportunity to develop crucial skills that will prepare them for university study, encourage them to critically evaluate the ways in which they learn and foster in them a sense of active and practical social responsibility. The IB is an excellent foundation for lifelong learning.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a renowned worldwide programme of the highest quality which is recognised by all universities around the world.
