PYP at Mulgrave

The Primary Years Programme at Mulgrave School allows students to participate in six in-depth, transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry (UOI) throughout the year. Each of these units:

  • is a significant, relevant and challenging learning experience
  • builds on the prior knowledge of the students
  • involves students in a range of learning activities
  • requires students to engage in positive action
  • integrates diverse subject areas whenever meaningful and appropriate

The classroom becomes a centre for structured inquiry, through which students acquire and practise skills, develop conceptual understandings and build their knowledge base.

These units are outlined in our school-wide Programme of Inquiry (POI) and are carefully designed to build concepts, knowledge and skills from one year to the next, as a student progresses through the school.

Learner Profile

To further enhance the learning experience, the PYP focuses on developing the whole child. This programme develops students who have positive attitudes towards people, towards their environment and towards learning.

To this end, Mulgrave students work with their teachers and peers to develop these important Learner Profile traits.
