The PYP Exhibition

Our Year 4 students are currently working through their Exhibition unit. In this unit, students design their own inquiry. This is an opportunity for them to showcase the skills and attributes that they have developed throughout their years in the PYP, skills and attributes that will set them up to be successful learners for life.

They have composed their lines of inquiry and started formulating questions to guide their research. Each Exhibition team has a mentor and we are fortunate that so many people from across our College have made time to support our students.

With inquiries ranging from nuclear energy to the protection of animals, technology to climate change and natural disasters, we are looking for a wide range of experts that our teams can interview in order to broaden their research.

We are specifically looking for experts in the following areas:

-clean energy

-sustainable architecture

-fast fashion

-animal welfare and protection

-helping people who are living in poverty or who are homeless

-physical and mental health

-natural disaster responses

If you, or someone you know, is an expert in any of the following fields, we would love to hear from you.
