IBDP Student's Interaction with Cybersecurity Expert

On Tuesday, November 15th, 2022. DP Y1 student Ariyaan Ahmed's father, Mr. Tanmay Ahmed visited the campus to conduct our first Parent - Student Workshop. Mr. Tanmay has been working as a specialist in the field of cybersecurity for years now. He is currently working for the Bangladesh government's cybersecurity division. During this interactive workshop, Mr. Tanmay discussed and interacted with the student's knowledge of Information Technologies and Global Societies (ITGS), a group 3 subject from our IB curriculum taught by Miss Irtifa Ali. Mr. Tanmay discussed why the knowledge of (ICT) or information communications technology is essential to understand in this developing era, where the advancements of technology are constantly changing the world we live in. With the many welfare technological advancements it brings, there are several downsides it brings, such as cybercrime. Mr. Tanmay discussed strategies our government is planning on implementing to fight against cybercrimes and is constantly updating the cybersecurity act of Bangladesh.

I believe this parent-student workshop had a very beneficial exposure to the students of IBDP and especially Miss Irtifa’s ITGS students. I believe more parents could step up to the occasion just like Mr. Tanmay has, as a major part of the learning we have in Ib is with analyzing real-world examples. I’d like to thank Mr. Tanmay Ahmed on behalf of everyone at the Australian International School, my respected peers and students, respected teachers, and respected coordinators.

Cooking Up a Storm with IBDP Students

The students of DP Year 1 and DP ear 2 got to experience several immersive cooking lessons throughout the past few weeks, as part of their CAS activities. Gaining notoriety for being a fan- favorite class amongst students, they have gained a lot of experience and knowledge by using hands-on approaches in cooking and preparing the ingredients. Mr. Asad has been a wonderful guide and taught as many skills as possible including how to use a knife, how to chop vegetables and similar skills. Students were encouraged to participate in cooking by ‘sharpening’ their knife skills, helping prepare the ingredients for assembly, and taking turns in stirring or frying various items on the portable electric stoves provided. During the first class, the students got to partake in making ‘palak pakoda’, or more commonly known as spinach pakora. Each student had their own share in creating the batter, cutting the spinach stems (as well as dicing leafy, fresh toppings) and frying the crunchy snacks.

Multi-lingual Collage Work on Festivals and Traditions

As Easter Sunday was near, there was a collaboration between the different language groups in DP to create a collage on the different festivals around the world. There had to be a primary focus on the three languages taught, such as English, Bengali and French but we also mentioned more festivals. This was different from the work we had done previously, as this focused more on imagery and it had to be more decorative. There were 18 students present that day and they decided to divide themselves into 3 groups of 6. Each group had a different approach to their work. One group decided to create drawings of the unique aspects of each festival, such as phrases or features from the festival. Another group used printouts and one group had a creative display, using newspaper cutouts to create a mural essentially. With the three of these displays combined it created a very aesthetically pleasing collage on the different festivals and the different languages. This type of wo
