	~~==== The DP Core ====~~

	~~The '''DP Core''' is mandatory for all IBDP students and consists of three essential~~
	~~components that sit at the heart of the programme. Together, they develop critical thinking,~~
	~~independent research, and the spirit of service.~~

	~~===== 1. Theory of Knowledge (TOK) =====~~


	~~'''Theory of Knowledge''' is a unique, interdisciplinary course that challenges students to~~
	~~critically examine the nature of knowledge itself and how we come to know what we claim to~~
	~~know. It is one of the most distinctive features of the IBDP and has no equivalent in most~~
	~~other pre-university programmes.~~

	*'''What students explore:''' Ways of Knowing (Sense Perception, Language, Reason, Emotion,
	~~Intuition, Imagination, Faith, Memory) and Areas of Knowledge (Natural Sciences, Human~~
	~~Sciences, Mathematics, History, The Arts, Ethics, Religious Knowledge, Indigenous Knowledge)~~
	*'''Assessment:'''
	** '''TOK Essay''' – A 1,600-word essay written on one of six prescribed titles set by the IB
	** '''TOK Exhibition''' – Students create an exhibition of three objects linked to a core
	~~theme, demonstrating how TOK connects to the real world (assessed internally)~~
	*'''Grading:''' A to E (A = Excellent, E = Elementary)
	*'''Contribution to Score:''' TOK grade, combined with EE grade, can contribute up to

	~~===== 2. Extended Essay (EE) =====~~

	~~The '''Extended Essay''' is an independent, self-directed research project that gives students~~
	~~the opportunity to investigate a topic of personal academic interest in depth. It is a defining~~
	~~feature of the IBDP and serves as excellent preparation for university-level research and writing.~~

	*'''Word Count:''' 4,000 words
	*'''Subject:''' Any IB-approved subject; must connect to the student's chosen subject group
	*'''Process:''' Students select a research question, gather and analyse primary and secondary
	~~sources, and write a scholarly essay with proper citations and referencing~~
	*'''Supervision:''' Guided by a school-appointed supervisor who provides three formal
	~~reflection sessions~~
	*'''Assessment:''' Externally marked by IB examiners on a scale of A to E
	*'''Contribution to Score:''' Combined with TOK grade for up to 3 bonus points (see matrix above)

	~~'''Popular EE Subject Areas at SSVM:'''~~
	* History – Causes and consequences of significant historical events
	* Economics – Market analysis, policy impact studies
	* Biology/Chemistry – Laboratory-based investigations
	* Literature – Comparative analysis of literary texts
	* Business Management – Entrepreneurship and organisational studies

	~~===== 3. Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) =====~~

	~~'''CAS''' is the experiential learning core of the IBDP. It requires students to participate~~
	~~in a range of activities alongside their academic studies, fostering personal and interpersonal~~
	~~development. CAS is not formally graded but must be completed satisfactorily for diploma award.~~

	~~{\| class="wikitable sortable"~~
	~~\|+ CAS Strands~~
	~~! Strand !! Description !! Examples~~
	\|-
	~~\| '''Creativity'''~~
	~~\| Exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance~~
	~~\| Painting, writing, photography, music composition, drama, video production, coding projects~~
	\|-
	~~\| '''Activity'''~~
	~~\| Physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle~~
	~~\| Sports, yoga, martial arts, hiking, dance, swimming, community fitness programmes~~
	\|-
	~~\| '''Service'''~~
	~~\| Collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an identified need~~
	~~\| Teaching underprivileged children, environmental clean-up, fundraising, community outreach~~
	\|}

	*'''CAS Project:''' Students must undertake at least one collaborative CAS project involving
	~~planning, implementation, and reflection~~
	*'''Reflection:''' Students maintain a CAS portfolio documenting their experiences, evidence,
	~~and reflective journals across all three strands~~
	*'''Duration:''' CAS activities run throughout the entire two-year IBDP

	~~'''CAS Learning Outcomes (Students must demonstrate all 7):'''~~
	~~# Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth~~
	~~# Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken~~
	~~# Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience~~
	~~# Show commitment and perseverance in CAS experiences~~
	~~# Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively~~
	~~# Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance~~
	~~# Recognise and consider the ethics of choices and actions~~
