First Aid as First Activity in the Academic Year of 2023

DP Year 1 and DP Year 2 began their academic year including a new CAS activity known as ‘First Aid’. AusIS has introduced a first aid class as a way of expanding student’s knowledge on medical and emergency situations. This activity aims to help students adapt and understand intense situations and have a logical understanding of what needs to be done, and the procedures which need to be taken in case of medical emergencies, Dr. Faisal is the teacher for first aid who has already taken a few classes on CPR, determining if a person is conscious or not, and the concept of first aid and its importance.

The students have already undergone practical and theoretical scenarios with Dr. Faisal and what procedures and steps needed to be taken. The classes have been very productive and will continue to broaden the student’s knowledge. This activity also relates to our service and individual learning criteria, challenges & new skills, initiative, and awareness are the core targeted learning outcomes for the students. We hope to see students improve their knowledge on basic medical skills and capitalize on the opportunity provided to us. And this concludes the first official Australian International School Blog Post on the first aid.

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 ...
