Grade 8 students dissected pig brains to gain hands-on experience of how the anatomy of the brain is laid out, including locating key glands such as the pituitary and understanding where the four lobes are located.

As the most senior students at @TISlearns, the G9s have been asked to reflect on what it is that they want to bring into the world. Starting with a skill or disposition, today they explored what the limits to their growth might be.

If you’re amazed (or scared) by this then wait until GPT-4. Hopefully the conversation regarding the purpose and practice of assessment in schools can finally move from a slow jog to a sprint. Kudos to those that have been thinking about it for years. abc.net.au/news/science/2…

This is one of many examples of what a Compassionate Systems Approach aspires to achieve - the exploration of complex and relevant issues, topics and themes, alongside the development of our capacity to 'be with' these challenges and not be overwhelmed by them. Center for Systems Awareness

Among other interesting points, takeaway #5 speaks the most to me. Forever thankful for the nurturing parents, teachers and peers that I have in my on-going musical learning. gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/23/03/…

So nice to have students from Seisen International School join us at @TISlearns for an inquiry into compassionate systems through climate action. A great way to explore the dynamics of complex systems, and a provocative starting point for #PYPX.

G3-G5 launched Super Flex Term 2! Students brought an object to school that they are interested in/passionate about & made an annotated exhibition of it: the Museum of You. Classes visited each other’s museum rooms looking for connection, inspiration, & ideas for their inquiries.
