AusIS Welcomes Representatives from Saint Mary’s University

On the third of September, four representatives from the Canadian University Application Centre visited AusIS. They spoke with the DP 1 and DP 2 students regarding a single university - Saint Mary’s University from Halifax Canada. The four representatives included Ms. Maria and Mr. Rashid; the two head speakers for this visit who spoke to us about all the commodities and aspects Saint Mary’s had to offer.

To add on, the Canadian University Application Centre, or CUAC in short, is a well-recognized student recruitment company which was launched in 1997. They provide students with advice and knowledge about the fields of study and certain universities in which they may be interested in. They are located in a multitude of countries all around the world in places such as North America, South America, Africa and Asia.

Moreover, Saint Mary’s University is an international student friendly educational institute with 29% of their student population being from other nations. They offer a range of undergraduate, graduate and professional development programs and conduct research with local, regional and global impact. They have 5 major areas of study, including a faculty for science, arts, business (named the Sobey School of Business), Engineering and a faculty for environmental studies named the School of the Environment.

Visits such as this one are incredibly crucial for all of the students, especially the DP 2 ones as they shall soon embark on their journey into university life. By being well informed about all the suitable university choices that exist and the requirements posed by them, we can be prepared for any obstacle that stands in our way.

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...

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...
