I was one of the 6 IP class chairmen who were selected to go for an interview about the IB programme today; previously I thought that it'd be some boring, one-to-one, ask-questions-answer-questions thing, but it turned out to be so much more fun!

I was the 2nd one there, and lo and behold! It was a bunch of tables arranged together and 8 chairs around; 6 for us and the other 2 for our NIE interviewers. In the middle of the table were a bunch of bottled drinks and chips and snacks and chocolates, yummie!

They asked us to pick a bottle and start eating, hur, while we waited for the rest of the chairmen to come. After they came, they started asking us questions as a group, and we discussed all sorts of stuff about our IB programme. Who ever thought that sharing about our school and our IB programme was so enjoyable? We spent about 2 hours just, well, chitchatting, and time flew by real quick. I didn't want it to end, you know!

But the good news is that it seems like the NIE officers who interviewed us are doing a project on the IB programme in various schools over a span of a few years, and they didn't want to just take a snapshot of students. Which means that they'd rather see how the same students progress through the years...! How cool is that; which means I'll probably be seeing them again sometime soon. Plus, I broke the ice between me and my fellow Year 4 chairmen, hah. Hi Marc, Amos, Levin, Yao Yu and Jonathan! =D
