International Baccalaureate “Recapping our Journey”
Mildura West Primary School is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) and we are pursuing authorisation as an IB World School this year.
IB World Schools share a common philosophy - a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes.
There are over 4,200 IB World Schools in 109 countries. More than 75,000 teachers and more than one million students worldwide. A wonderful network for teaching our students.
WHAT IS PYP? (PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAM)
- • A curriculum framework for young learners aged 5-12
- • Founded on a philosophy that recognises a child’s natural curiosity, creativity and ability to reflect
- • The PYP generates a stimulating, challenging learning environment to nurture and promote a love of life-long learning
- • It is transdisciplinary, meaning students learn across subject areas while investigating big ideas
