International Baccalaureate Mentorship Conference
Turner Fenton Secondary School
7935 Kennedy Road South
Brampton, Ontario, L6W 0A2
Phone: (905) 453-9220
ATTENTION ALL GRADE 10s, AND 11s
IBMC was developed as a response to the confusing and stressful transition from MYP to the full-fledged
Diploma Program. The purpose of IBMC is to replace the fear new students might have with adequate
knowledge and confidence to embark on their journey into the IB program. The conference will tackle the
uncertainties that mentors possess. It will also aid in creating a comfortable atmosphere for students to direct
their opinions and questions to individuals that were once in the same position that they are now in.
The conference is an opportunity to unify the IB students at Turner Fenton, clarify the challenges of the
Diploma Program, and to have fun. The conference will begin at 1:30pm – 8:30pm, Friday September 18th,
2015 of the same day. To ensure the safety and success of the conference, we need YOU to join the security and
C-COMM task force.
The IBMC Executive is looking for energetic, attentive, and charismatic students to join our Mentorship
Developer team. Those who wish to partake in this privilege must comply with and exemplify all of the
