Primary Years Programme (PYP) Exhibition 2016

The Year 5 PYP Exhibition is one of the most important days in our school calendar as demonstrated in the key points below:

  • Synthesizing all of the essential elements of PYP and sharing with the school community.
  • Offering an opportunity to exhibit the attributes of learner profile.
  • Promoting responsibility through a collaborative, transdisciplinary and self-driven inquiry-based process.
  • Encouraging students to explore multiple perspectives. 

  • Promoting reflection of their journey through the PYP.
  • Celebrating the transition from Primary to a Middle School education. 


The Exhibition process is a shared journey involving many participants and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who helped out along the way, particularly the mentors and parents who were invaluable for the success of the process.

A special thank you must also go to our two Year 5 teachers, Miss Cirillo and Mr Wells. Your energy, patience, organisation and positivity made the journey exciting, challenging and most of all rewarding for the boys.

To the students of Year 5 2016 well done. You were given a lot of responsibility and freedom and you can feel rest assured that you did yourselves, parents and the College proud.

Junior School Dean of Teaching & Learning
