Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Primary Years Programme (PYP) 2015 Exhibition
The Junior School Year 5 PYP Exhibition is one of the most important days in our school calendar, and this year was once again an exceptional effort by the students and their teachers.
With two new classroom teachers in Year 5, a new Teacher Librarian, French teacher and PYP Coordinator, it was an ideal opportunity to make some key changes to the Exhibition process. These changes included the time of year that the exhibition was held, the increased responsibility bestowed on the boys to ensure they kept up with each stage of the process. The mentors were past Junior School students, now in Year 10, rather than classroom teachers and the report was not driven by key concepts, rather they were used to develop burning questions as well as be instrumental in the reflection process of the inquiry cycle.
Thank you to all parties involved in the process. This list includes other schools, maintenance staff, parents, teachers, mentors, and guest experts.
A special thank you must go to our two new Year 5 teachers, Miss Cirillo and Mr Wells, as it was a massive challenge for you both to not only be new to Scotch College but also new to the IB and for you both to up-skill yourselves so quickly and spend so many hours ensuring your students all had opportunities to grow was an amazing effort.
To the students of Year 5, 2015 - well done boys. You did yourselves, parents and the College proud!
Mr Warwick Norman
Junior School Dean of Teaching & Learning
