IB PYP Learner Profile Attributes

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Learner Profile Attributes define the dispositions internationally minded students display. Development of the Learner Profile Attributes is the overarching goal of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Murrumbeena Primary School. We want our students to be caring, principled, thinkers, open minded, communicators, risk takers, knowledgeable, reflective, inquirers and balanced. The IB’s description of each learner profile can be found here.

Below is our MPS student friendly version of the Learner Profile Attributes. Each week students focus on developing a deeper understanding of an identified learner profile by reflecting on how the learner profile supported them to be successful in their learning across lessons throughout the week.

Can you find where the school values (respect, relationships, responsibility and resilience) are embedded within the Learner Profile Attributes?

In following newsletters we will include examples of how students might display the learner profiles at school, and examples of what you might notice at home.  You might like to print off the Learner Profile Attributes and display them at home to encourage discussion and further development of the attributes.
