The Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of an IB school and the students in that school.

As a culminating experience, it is an opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the Learner Profiles that have been developed throughout their engagement with the Primary Years Programme (PYP) over a number of years.

Our Year 5/6 Exhibition commenced in week 7 this term with a number of provocations including guest speakers, an excursion to the National Museum and even a Skype session with a cancer researcher. By now our Year 5 students, who undertake a mini exhibition, and 6 students, along with their teachers have worked through the Central Idea. This is followed by individual students developing their own Lines of Inquiry and deciding upon an issue and/or problems to be investigated. 

The exhibition is a process and features the learner profile, key concepts, transdisciplinary themes, significant and relevant knowledge, attitudes, action, collaborative in-depth inquiry, and the full participation of all students.  To provide further guidance and to engage in their learning throughout the remaining Exhibition process each Year 6 student has been matched with a mentor. Students have also been keeping an Exhibition Journal to record and reflect on their learning throughout the process. Many students have commented on their excitement in finally reaching this culminating project of their PYP. It is a significant opportunity to demonstrate all aspects of the Learner Profile as internationally-minded students. They are now entering the longest stage of the Exhibition process which is gathering the necessary material to analyse and synthesise into key understandings.

We look forward to seeing you at exhibition.
