In their final year of the Primary Years Programme (PYP), students engage in the PYP Exhibition, an important inquiry that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the PYP while exploring real-life issues of interest. They will present their research and actions to the school community through engaging exhibits, hands-on models and written reports, showcasing their understanding of real-world challenges and innovative solutions.Topics for this year’s exhibition include cultural awareness and belonging, human choices affecting animal welfare and the environment, technological innovations in waste management, balancing academic pressure and student well being, and communication and perspective taking to resolve disagreements in sports. We look forward to celebrating our students’ hard work and creativity at the P6 PYP Exhibition!
