Perspectives from the PYP Coordinator

2 December

The International Baccalaureate states that action component of the PYP can involve service to fellow students, and to the larger community both inside and outside the school.  Through such service, students are able to grow both personally and socially, developing skills such as cooperation, problem solving, conflict resolution, and creative and critical thinking.*

As you can see in this video below Mr. Rive’s Year Five class wanted to take action to support for Movember which raises awareness of men’s mental health issues.  They made informational posters, held a talent show, sold moustache badges, painted moustaches on students played games and more to raise money and create an awareness.
