Next up: Meeting the team! Students were introduced to the friendly IBSCTVET staff. Building connections is important, and this was a great chance to start forming those relationships.

After a quick break, it was time to dive back in! Mr. Wijeratne led an insightful session on “Charting Your Paths at IBS,” guiding students through academic planning and how to use the ERP student portal. He also explained the Dual Qualification & Hybrid Learning Program, which offers even more opportunities for students.

The afternoon was concerned with various support services available at IBSCTVET. Each department shared key information through short presentations. Speakers included Mr. Vishal (Logistics), Ms. Regina (Finance), Ms. Regina, Mr. Israel, and Mr. Darius (Student Services), Mr. Conrad Barilla (Library and IT), and Ms. Natasha & team (Quality Assurance).

Students discovered valuable information about campus safety, financial aid, library resources, and tech support—everything they need for a smooth and successful experience at IBSCTVET.

Meanwhile, Mr. Conrad Barilla and Mr. Airi Pegi took student ID photos—making everyone an official part of the IBSCTVET family!
