PYP Exhibition 2011-2012 Kris Stanhope Year 6 Leader Students are required to engage in a collaborative, trasndisiplinary inquiry process that involves them in identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems. The students will be grouped according to an issue for which they expressed interest. They will carry out an inquiry into this reallife issue and develop an action they can take. They will celebrate their learning by presenting their entire process during Exhibition Week. As an authorized PYP school, we agree to the principles and practices of the programme. The exhibition is one of those.
