Virtual University Fair for DP Students

 On the 28th of February, 2023 there was a Virtual University Fair conducted in our school for the students of IBDP. This was different from our usual university fairs because this time it was virtual. This means that instead of the universities visiting us in our school, we set up a google meet for them to present their universities. Although it was different it was still informative as many universities from Canada, Australia, Singapore and India were present. They talked about entry requirements, campuses, the subjects they can offer and scholarships provided. What was interesting was that all the universities had something unique to offer, such as the University of Victoria offering co-op which is essentially a paid internship of the subject you are studying or ESSEC offering global BBAs. 


 

 

This was very enlightening for the students of DP, because we got to know about the various options available to us. We learnt about when to apply and what to aim for in IB. There is expected to be more of these university fairs in the future and that is incredible, because they take a lot of pressure off of students. Being this close to university life, especially for the DP Year 2 can be overwhelming and the university is a major help in alleviating these fears.

ESS Experiment on Soil

  As the new term begins, so does a new experiment for ESS. These experiments are really fun for students as they can gain lab work experience and are beneficial because of the lab report that has to be done following it. For DP1, we are starting the chapter of Soil Systems and Society. Soil is a necessity on Earth and one of the roles is that it helps to grow plants. Our experiment was to analyze two samples of soils, garden soil and roadside soil. With these two samples we found its pH, moisture, water capacity and texture. It is important to understand these qualities in soil because when they are in a certain condition, it is the best for growing plants.   This experiment was very messy, but it was enjoyable. The students were divided into three groups and it was a new experience for everyone. Although we have done experiments before, we did not use some of the apparatus used in this experiment, so it was a new challenge for us. Equipment such as the dropper, glass rod...

Understanding the Role of Propaganda

  A few days ago in English class we had a task of creating posters on propaganda. The aim was to understand the role of propaganda in spreading views and how it shapes people’s mindset.     What is propaganda? Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may or may not be objective and may include selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to elicit an emotional rather than a rational response to the information being presented.    International propaganda aims to influence global audiences' attitudes and ideas, modify their connection with their home governments, or offer an alternative view of their own and the world's conditions.   The novel we are studying in class, 1984 has a key theme which is propaganda. In the novel, the Party's main and most successful weapon is utilized to deceive, confuse, and contro...
