DP Year 2 Collaborative Science Project Presentation: Exploring Water As The Basis Of Life

 On the 8th of September, the DP-2 students got to present their findings related to the ‘Collaborative Science Project’, an interdisciplinary study combining the science subjects of biology, environmental systems and societies, chemistry and physics. The students utilised the umbrella theme of water under the topic of ‘evaluating water safety through purification and testing’.




Through the conducted experiments, students assessed parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, and water hardness. These elements are crucial indicators of water quality and have far-reaching implications for ecosystems, human health, and environmental sustainability. Their findings highlighted variations in water quality across different locations, emphasising the importance of monitoring and maintaining safe water standards.


This project is more than just a school assignment; it is a reminder of the critical issues surrounding water quality worldwide. Water is a vital resource, yet many communities across the globe face challenges with contamination and scarcity. The collaborative science project underscores the importance of clean water access and the need for continued scientific inquiry into water quality management.




In a world where water sources are increasingly under threat from pollution, climate change, and overuse, our project serves as a small but significant step towards understanding and protecting this essential resource. The skills and knowledge we’ve gained through this project equip us to contribute to global efforts in ensuring that safe, clean water is available to all.

Inspiring Minds: A Journey of Education, Life, and Gratitude

 Education is not only restricted to textbooks and classrooms; it covers a larger knowledge of life, purpose, and the pursuit of achievement. Australian International School Dhaka, promotes complete growth while inspiring pupils to attain their best potential is of highest significance. In a recent engagement project, the school invited Dr. Shahpar Nahrir, a parent of IBDP 1 students Maryam and Amina Bushra, who discussed her life experiences, opinions on education, and important life advice. Dr. Nahrir, having a background in neurological surgery at Evercare Hospital, wants to teach students the significance of hard effort, persistence, and thankfulness in their path towards making a significant effect on society.  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...

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 snac...

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 Nation s  (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 educa...
