Empowering Through Karate: The Benefits for IB DP Students

As the new academic year begins, IB DP students are diligently working towards their CAS objectives, with a particular focus on the activity component. Among the various school-based activities, karate stands out as a significant contributor to students’ physical and mental development. This martial art not only provides a robust form of exercise but also teaches essential self-defense techniques and fosters perseverance.

In the karate classes, students learn a variety of blocks, kicks, and punches, each designed to enhance their physical capabilities and self-discipline. Techniques such as the front kick, roundhouse kick, and various blocking methods are practiced to perfection, ensuring students gain confidence and agility. Karate sessions after school offer a structured environment where students can channel their energy positively, promoting both physical fitness and mental resilience. This activity is particularly beneficial for girl students, empowering them with the skills and confidence to protect themselves and navigate the world with assurance.

The holistic benefits of karate extend beyond physical prowess. Engaging in this martial art strengthens the mind and body, fostering a sense of discipline, focus, and inner strength. As IB DP students continue to participate in karate, they not only enhance their athletic abilities but also develop critical life skills that contribute to their overall well-being and academic success. The commitment to karate exemplifies the IB philosophy of nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared to face future challenges with confidence and competence.

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...
