Welcome to the HKA Grade 5 Exhibition... What is it, you ask?
Adapted from the IB Exhibition Guidelines:
The PYP exhibition represents a significant event in your life as a PYP student, combining the essential elements of the PYP and sharing them with the whole school community. As a culminating experience, this is an opportunity for you to exhibit the attributes of the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile that you have been developing throughout your career as a PYP student, no matter if youʼve been here one year or eight years.
You will be required to engage in a collaborative, transdisciplinary inquiry process that involves identifying, investigating and offering solutions to real-life issues or problems.
The PYP exhibition has a number of key purposes:
• to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for your own learning
• to provide you with an opportunity to explore multiple perspectives
• for you to synthesize and apply your learning of previous years and to reflect upon your journey through the PYP
• to demonstrate how you can take action as a result of your learning
• to unite the students, teachers, parents and other members of the school community in a collaborative experience that incorporates the essential elements of the PYP
• to celebrate your transition from primary to middle/secondary education.
