Year 6 Exhibition

Every year, the Year 6 cohort demonstrates their deep understanding of their learning through a Year 6 Exhibition. This year, the event was a wonderful celebration of student learning as they described their broadening skills, agency in decision-making (and therefore ownership of their learning), high-level thinking skills, and synthesis of their learning into a statement piece.

Following a brief assembly-style presentation and musical performance, it was then over to each student to present their statement piece to the parents and wider community in an interactive exchange.

In creating their statement piece, each student had the opportunity to investigate an issue in which they felt strongly. Students developed their own central idea under the transdisciplinary theme, ‘How we Organise Ourselves’. The issues, which spanned across various subjects, involved high levels of complexity, and were a testament to the depth of learning the Primary Years Programme facilitates. Students took meaningful action on their chosen issue and worked as dealers of hope to encourage others within the community to also take action.

Some of the central ideas included: ‘forms of communication can connect communities’, ‘communities can support people with disabilities’, and ‘technology can affect mental and societal health of users’. Each statement piece was unique, innovative, thought-provoking and inspiring.
