Opening Doors to the Future

For many students, like DP 1 and WACE 11, this fair was a crucial first step in their journey towards higher education. Representatives from each university were on hand to answer questions, provide advice, and guide students through the application process. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn about the diverse academic paths available and to start thinking seriously about future career goals.

As the first university fair of the year, this event set a high standard for the ones to follow. The enthusiasm from both students and university representatives was palpable, and it was clear that our students are eager to explore the world and all it has to offer.

We look forward to seeing where our student’s journeys take them and are excited to host more events that open doors to new opportunities.

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 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.
