Super Curricular Programme
The Super Curriculum is an important part of an education at OICB and refers to the time spent outside of classroom study. Our strategic approach gives students a plan and access to activities that will have tangible outcomes for their goals or career. For example, we will encourage a student who wants to practise Law to take part in debating and public speaking competitions in order to learn how to articulate an argument.
The Super Curriculum helps our students to build a portfolio with the many awards and certifications they achieve, building their profile for university entry.
