A group of OWIS parents recently had an opportunity to listen to a presentation by our University Guidance Counsellor, Mr Simon Walker. Simon\u2019s talk was a part of the Parent Partnership Series (PPS). The subject of the talk was how OWIS helps our IB Programme<\/a> students plan for university and life beyond.<\/p>\n

OWIS offers support to students throughout their time at OWIS, particularly in Grades 11 and 12. It’s our duty to ensure that students who are about to embark on a journey beyond OWIS are prepared for the experience that awaits them.
