PYP

What is the IB Learner Profile? 

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a transdisciplinary curriculum framework that offers authentic learning experiences. 

The PYP encourages students to learn to appreciate knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and personal attributes as a connected whole. 

The IB Learner Profile represents 10 attributes that support our students becoming responsible members of our local, national and global communities.  

You can support the learner profile attributes by understanding the ten attributes and using these words in conversations with your child. 

The Year 6 Student Agency Team members interviewed some students last week who received Learner Profile awards.

Scarlett Year 4 

What award did you get and why? 

The award I got was the ‘Risk Taker ‘award. The reason I got it was because I always put my hand up even when I am not sure. 

What does it mean to you. 

To be a risk taker means to have a go when you are not sure and have a                                     go even if you do not know the answer. 

                               How did you feel? 

                               I was a bit shocked because I thought someone else would get it, then                                     my name got called out and I was shocked, but it made me proud.
