The Simon Lawrence Library hosted the annual “EE Day” where Y12 students started their IB Extended Essay journey.

EE Day in the Library

The Simon Lawrence Library invited all our Y12 students to the annual “EE Day”, hosted by the IB Extended Essay coordinator, Ms Claire. The students spent the day learning about the many aspects of the extended essay, which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, culminating in a 4,000-word papers and is a vital component of the IB Diploma. At the end of the last school year, our current Y12 students gave the Library suggestions on popular topics for the Extended Essay and the Library has ordered many new books on these subjects which are now all available for students to borrow to aid in their research. The Library continues to supports students’ during their EE journey by making available as many books as possible on their chosen subjects. In addition, the Library system, Destiny, provides them with diverse features including citation and reviews in the new interface, Destiny Discover, so that, with their username and password, students can explore the numerous features at their disposal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. DK at libraryhs@standrews.ac.th.
