Some Raita ......at the End of the Day

The second week, the students were tasked with a more interesting dish to create: luchi. Some select students had to travel to the cafeteria during lunchtime to help prepare the dough beforehand, so that it would be ready for rolling and frying once everyone had gone downstairs at 2:55 PM sharp.

Waiting in anticipation, the students each patiently took their turn to place their dough into the oil and watch as it bubbled up into wonderfully fluffy luchi. Alongside, some students were tasked with creating daal and raita to pair with it. It was a wonderful meal and the line for creating new batches of luchi grew endless.

Cooking has been a vital part of CAS so far and the students are thoroughly enjoying their experiences. It is an essential skill to have and develop while still in adolescence. It promotes independence, teaches practical life skills, encourages healthier eating habits, and can save money in the long run. It also fosters creativity and a sense of accomplishment, allowing individuals to prepare their own meals and make informed choices about their diet.

We look forward to the new creations we’ll be whipping up in the AusIS cafeteria.

The Australian International School's dedication to offering a well-rounded education goes beyond academic differences. Recognizing the relevance of real-life experiences and ideas, the school regularly invites guest speakers to share their tales and viewpoints. Dr...

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 ...
