Grade 5 PYP Exhibition π
The Exhibition marks the end of our studentsβ primary journey β and the beginning of something bigger.
They explored issues that matter, connected them to their values, and shared ideas for action with clarity and confidence.
They learned to ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and reflect on what kind of impact they want to have.
More than anything, they showed that understanding leads to responsibility β and action.
A big thank you to Mark Williams and Jennifer Schmidt, for guiding and preparing them so thoughtfully every step of the way. π
Weβre incredibly proud of the capable, compassionate young people theyβve become. π
