of
introducing the Primary Years Programme (PYP)
during this academic year 2006-2007. This is part of the IB system
(International Baccalaureate). The schools have applied to
the IBO to become a candidate school. The programme builds on what the
children already know and what they can do. The programme is inquiry-based
and encourages the students to become lifelong learners who are
responsible for their own learning. The teachers use a range and balance
of teaching strategies to meet the objectives of the curriculum. The
teaching and learning is supported by a range of appropriate resources,
including ICT.
