On Wednesday 3 July, we had an excellent turnout of parents for our annual exhibition presentation. Many thanks to those families who attended - it was great to see you all!
The Exhibition
The PYP Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of a PYP school and students, synthesizing the essential elements of the PYP and sharing them with the whole school community. As a culminating experience, it is an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the IB learner profile that they have been developing throughout their engagement with the PYP.
The PYP Exhibition has a number of key purposes:
- For students to engage in an in-depth, collaborative inquiry
- To provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for their own learning
- For students to synthesize and apply their learning of previous years and to reflect upon their journey through the PYP
- To demonstrate how students can take action as a result of their learning
- To unite the students, teachers, parents and other members of the school community in a collaborative experience that incorporates the essential elements of the PYP
This year the boys' inquiries will be guided by the transdisciplinary theme of sharing the planet with the central idea: "Sharing resources can challenge communities to consider different perspectives."
Since returning from the term holiday the year 5 boys have started immersion activities that will help them define their in-depth inquiries. This is a busy but exciting time for all and we look forward to the learning to come.
