Primary Years Programme (PYP)
IB PYP Curriculum Framework at Scotch Junior School
Welcome back everyone. It is great to have the boys back at school!
It was encouraging to see such a wonderful turnout at our Meet the Teacher Evening on Wednesday 5 February. A big thank you to all for helping make the evening such a success.
In the Junior School we follow the Australian/Western Australian curriculum with the added value of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). The IB PYP is a curriculum framework which incorporates five essential elements for teaching and learning. These elements are: knowledge, key concepts, approaches to learning/transdisciplinary skills, attitudes, and action. Staff across the Junior School plan collaboratively to include all of these elements in our teaching and learning programme. As a result boys are exposed to a very rich and exciting curriculum, as are the teachers.
An information session for parents new to Scotch Junior School will be held on Wednesday 26 February. More details will be distributed shortly.
