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.

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
