Operational notes
The first week of students being back in school has been hectic but the dust is settling.

Those who signed up, as either mentors or mentees, to the 2022 cohort of the DP Geography educator mentoring project. Emails went out at the weekend to start the mentor-mentee partnerships.
The 2023 meeting of the Swiss IB Geography Teachers Network will be on Friday 12th May 2023 at the International School of Lausanne. The best way to stay abreast of developments is by joining the Swiss IB Geography Network group on LinkedIn. For teachers in Switzerland and neighbouring countries only - sorry.
Random
