Relief was my first emotion when getting the IB Diploma Programme results. It was a great feeling to see that all the hard work I put in has paid off. The Programme was difficult but I enjoyed it and I got into the course I wanted to do, which is Edinburgh to study Maths. Liam, Graduating IB Diploma Programme Student
