Hello IB students!
With classwork, college applications, exams - and your life outside IB - you may begin to feel a bit overwhelmed. We understand because we’ve been there! To help you out, we’re so excited to announce a project our HSAs have been working incredibly hard on… the IBlieve Community!🌏💫 This is an online community on Slack for all IB students to make more IB friends around the world, study together, and motivate each other throughout this 2 year journey.
You can ask about subject-specific questions, study tips, and share your own country’s experiences with other students! IBlieve grads and HSAs will also be around to answer questions and help out. Trust us, you don’t want to miss the fun.👀
We’ll see you over on the IBlieve Community!

🌍World News
As a global community of IB students, we believe it’s so important to stay informed and engaged about issues close to your home and afar. That’s why we’ve created a new section in our newsletter to highlight issues and events around the globe. However, we don’t just want to raise awareness – we want to equip you with actionable ways to help uplift these communities. Note: These issues have been brought up to us by real members of our community who are experiencing them.
“Strongest typhoon of 2020 slams the Philippines” – CNN
Typhoon Goni (category 5) slammed the Philippines at the beginning of November. Only a week later while the country was still recovering, Typhoon Vamco, another tropical storm, struck as well. Typhoon Goni has displaced over 390,000 people from their homes, cut power from millions of families, and left $369 million worth of damage to the islands.
How You Can Help
Project Puno is donating 1000 pesos to victims of the typhoon for every 50 likes on their Instagram post. This is a student-led initiative and incredibly easy way to support by taking 5 seconds to like an Instagram post!
