Who We Are

YEAR ONE - TERM 1, 2022

Who We Are 

CENTRAL IDEA

The decisions people make influence their relationships with each other

As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year. 

The first unit the year one students will be exploring focuses on the way we learn and interact in order to work harmoniously together.

The Resilience Project will form the basis of our whole school wellbeing program, again in 2022. The Resilience Project programs use evidence-based approaches to build resilience, in order to teach positive mental health strategies.

Concepts

• Responsibility
• Perspective

Lines of Inquiry

• The things we need to learn together
• The way our interactions contribute to a harmonious classroom

Action

Action in the PYP is initiated independently by the student as a result of the learning process. Action may be bringing a book or artefact related to the inquiry to school, or student initiated drawings/posters/research. We celebrate our students’ ACTION every day in our classrooms. If you see your children taking independent action at home encourage them to share their action with their class.
