Campus Radio 938 Live hosts talk show at CIS


By / Dr. David Ansbacher, High School Principal, Lakeside Campus

If you happened to tune in to 938 Live on the morning of Friday, 14 September 2012, you got a treat, as our Grade 12 students held a thought-provoking conversation on the weekly Campus Radio talk show.

Hosted by Joel Chua, a crowd of grade 12 students gathered in the auditorium to discuss the topic, “Do teens today believe that they need to be perceived as beautiful (attractive) in order to succeed?” Two of our students, Tanya Deol and Connor Chilton, were on the panel with Rick Butler, our DP Theory of Knowledge teacher and Catherine Chan, the Managing Consultant of Iconiq Image. They discussed perspectives on the definition of beauty and the importance of beauty in regards to student success in life.

Our Grade 11-12 Theory of Knowledge students have been reading and discussing writers throughout history and perspectives on beauty; with this, the discussion ranged from comments on current media culture, cultural perspectives on beauty and so much more.
