MUN 101: Introducing the DP 1 Students to Model United Nations

 With the new academic year beginning, the new DP 1 students were introduced to the idea of Model United Nations

 (MUN) for CAS on August the 13th. MUN is an academic simulation of the United Nations, with students acting 

as delegates, Secretary-Generals, committee staffs and committee chairs. MUN aims to educate young minds about

 current global events, diplomacy, international relations and how the United Nations operates. Delegates need to 

collaborate with other delegates to support each other's resolutions, sharing knowledge of their own ones and 

listening to others proposals. Through MUNs, we as students can develop a multitude of skills, including: 

presentation, public speaking, persuasion, research, critical thinking and situation analysis. 


 


The sessions are taken by both Mr. Asad, our CAS supervisor, along with Mr. Mahfuz, a teacher here at 

Australian International School who has experience in hosting MUNs in other educational institutes and has

 trained students in the past as well. The CAS activity acts as a club in which all of us are members. The club

 also has its own set of authoritative figures (president, vice-president, treasurer, etc.), but currently, these

 roles are set for re-election with the DP 2 students in the running.

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...

Inquiry on Smart Farming: Designing a Greener Tomorrow

On the 2 nd week of November, IB DP Year 1 students have come together to work in an interdisciplinary project regarding sustainable agriculture practices. The collaboration was done between the Group 3 subjects: Digital Society, Economics, Business Management and Environmental Systems and Societies. The students worked hard to conduct research and find real world examples and create different presentations regarding the various prospects of sustainable agriculture and its advancements. Sustainable agriculture is a big step for sustainable development, which prioritizes meeting the needs of this generation without compromising the next, so by studying this topic we got a better understanding of the current situation and the scope of improvements.   The Digital Society students focused on what existing technologies are helping agriculture be more sustainable and efficient, including case studies of different farms around the world. Economics students studied how the demand o...
