DP CAS Fair 2023

In addition to the Pohela Boishakh concert on the 11th of May, the DP-1 students held a CAS
Fair where they created stalls and sold food and games. Well spoiler alert, it was a major
success! Teachers and students of all grades came to visit the stalls and they were buying
everything. The gaming stall held by Adian and Mashnoon was never empty. We should have
really brought more food.


The CAS fair was a fulfilling experience for all the DP-1 students as we are going to donate the
profits to charity. This was quite an experience for all the students of DP-1 as there was a lot of
work needed to be done in short amounts of time especially with the crowds. Having to manage
the food efficiently while managing the change was quite a challenge for all the stalls but
thankfully the students managed to keep proper accounts.




This was the first time DP-1 students created a stall like this and we should have been more
prepared for the tremendous crowds, especially the Primary and pre-primary students. Since
some stalls did run out of stock pretty fast, we should have been more aware of the amount of
students in the school. But overall it was very successful, there was no one without food so
there was no worries about that. Everyone seemed to have a very fun time.

Exploring Biodiversity: IB DP Year 2 Biology Students Conduct Line Transect Activity

  Recently, IB DP Year 2 biology students embarked on an exciting line transect activity on the new school field to study plant species and soil properties. This innovative method of identifying organisms within an ecosystem involves systematic sampling at regular intervals to observe and record biodiversity along a line.   Using a 10-meter rope, students examined organisms every 2 meters along the transect, identifying two plant species: Cornus serica L. and Cenchrus echinatus L. . Despite aiming to collect five soil samples for testing pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS), the experiment was interrupted by rain, limiting the collection to three samples. Another challenge was the presence of bricks in the soil, which prevented digging at one of the sites. In the lab, students measured TDS levels ranging from 18.2 to 22 ppm, salinity from 17 to 18, and pH between 7.63 and 7.68. This hands-on activity provided valuable insights into the local ecosystem within the...

The 3C’s of Digital Society

The subject Digital Societies is a whole new experience for all the new IBDP students. We look into Global Societies, Technology Innovation, Multimedia, Political Stakes, etc. Digital Societies are divided into several categories and organized according to the terms. During our journey in Term 1, we looked into the hardware and software, evolution of computers, malwares, security, licenses and databases. The students had the opportunity to learn about the digital world, its evolution, and its impact on our societies. In term 2, we are currently working on the Social and Political use of Technology, such as Home and Leisure, IT in Health, Business and learning about the philosophy and arts behind Ergonomics. Digital Societies is categorized in 3 different core elements (Content, Concept and Context). Students can increase their thinking and communication skills through various discussions with their facilitator and peers. We investigate the impacts, laws and regulations, the pros ...

TOK Presentation

  On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition.   For the practice session, we did not do the full run through of the exhibition. For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator.   This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose. We can see if we are comfortable with the object and are good at explaining the prompt or theme. The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
