What is the PYP Exhibition?

The PYP Exhibition is an in-depth collaborative inquiry that starts from personal interest and passions, but extends into real world local and global issues. It is an inquiry that celebrates the transition from the PYP to the MYP, by requiring students to apply their learning from previous years.

If you were unable to attend the Parent Information Session on Thursday 11th March please click the link below to take a look at the PowerPoint presentation. The presentation outlines the purpose and structure of the exhibition and explains how you can support your child.
