Primary Years Programme (PYP)
PYP Exhibition
The PYP Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of a PYP school and student. The boys were immersed in an 8-week collaboratively constructed unit of inquiry. This event is the culmination of the 5-year journey undertaken by the students and is a celebration of not only what they learn, but also how they learn in an inquiry-modelled approach. Students are involved in all of the essential elements of the PYP and share them with the whole school community in an exhibition presentation.
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 synthesise 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 'Where we are in place and time' with the central idea: "Challenges, risks and opportunities may lead to migration."
The Exhibition this year will take place on Wednesday 19 August in the new Scotch Gallery.
This is an exciting time for all and we look forward to seeing you there.

Junior School Dean of Teaching & Learning
