Benefits of PYP

  • Mulgrave students take ownership of their learning. They set personal goals, reflect on their learning and are given opportunities to self-evaluate.
  • Mulgrave students are nurtured into becoming well-rounded individuals with an international outlook.  The pastoral care, for which our teachers are known, continues to be a distinguishing feature of our school.
  • While the PYP allows for lateral and vertical extension, creativity and student self-determination, we continue to provide the organisation and structure that have been significant in Mulgrave’s success. 
  • Mulgrave students are encouraged consistently to take constructive action in their community.
  • Mulgrave students respond to the high standards and expectations of the PYP.
  • The PYP provides opportunities to include parents and other members of the community in the learning process.
  • The PYP creates a common framework for schools and students around the world. As a result, families can move easily from Mulgrave to a PYP school anywhere in the world and know that the learning philosophies and values will remain consistent.
  • The PYP is part of the continuum of international education offered by the International Baccalaureate Organization. The approach to teaching and learning in the PYP is ideal preparation for the IBO’s Middle Years Programme and the IBO's Diploma Programme.
