Diploma Programme
The Diploma Programme
The IB Diploma accommodates for a range of different pathways, encouraging a broad, contemporary education. It is a globally recognised qualification which emphasises personal interest, research and genuine criteria-based assessment, in place of a limited system of ranking students against each other. The programme affords Preshil the opportunity to offer a significantly more holistic and collaborative learning culture, rewarding individual research, community participation, creativity and global citizenship. These qualities have always been at the heart of Preshil’s approach; the IB simply allows us to integrate this approach into all elements of students’ learning.
More information on the IB Diploma Programme curriculum is available in the
IB DP Handbook
.
University Admission:
The General Achievement Test (GAT) is a test of general knowledge and skills used by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority to check that VCE school-based and external assessments have been accurately assessed. In the Diploma Programme quality assurance is maintained through the IB’s external moderation, and Diploma candidates are required to sit the GAT in order to achieve an ATAR. The results of this test are also used to calculate the notional ATAR for the IB cohort. Typically, the conversion of Diploma scores into ATARs is extremely favourable.
