I muri tata mai i te whakatuwheratanga o te kura tuatahi o Keysborough Gardens i te marama o Hanuere 2020, ka noho te anga PYP me te huarahi ako ki te kaupapa whakaako me te ako hei waahanga nui o te whakamahere me te whakaako. I te taha o nga Kai-arahi me etahi o nga kaimahi e tino mohio ana ki te PYP, i timatahia he tono kia noho hei kura kaitono** mo te International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) i timata i muri tata mai i te whakatuwheratanga- engari i whakaroa na te Covid-19 take. I timata ano tenei mahi i te tau 2021, i whakaaehia te kura hei kura kaitono IB PYP i te Pipiri 2021.

Ko nga Kura o te Ao o IB he kaupapa whakaaro kotahi—he pono ki te whakapai ake i te whakaako me te ako o te hapori kanorau me te whakauru o nga akonga ma te tuku i nga kaupapa whakawero, kounga teitei o te maatauranga o te ao e whai mana ana te tirohanga.**

He aha te kaupapa IB mo nga tau tuatahi?

E aro ana te PYP ki te whanaketanga o te katoa o te tamaiti hei patapatai, i roto i te akomanga me te ao o waho. He anga mahi e arahina ana e nga kaupapa e ono o nga kaupapa whakahirahira o te ao, i tirotirohia ma te whakamahi i nga matauranga me nga pukenga i ahu mai i nga kaupapa kaupapa e 6 (pangangarau, reo, toi, rangahau hapori, putaiao me te ako whaiaro, hapori me te ako tinana) tae atu ki nga pukenga whakawhiti, me he aro nui ki te pakirehua.

He ngawari te PYP ki te whakatutuki i nga whakaritenga o te Marautanga o Wikitoria.

Ko te kaupapa IB mo nga tau tuatahi:

e aro ana ki te oranga matauranga, te oranga hapori me te oranga ngakau o nga akonga

whakatenatena i nga akonga ki te whakawhanake i te mana motuhake me te kawe i a raatau ake akoranga

e tautoko ana i nga mahi a nga akonga ki te mohio ki te ao me te noho pai ki roto

ka awhina i nga tauira ki te whakau i nga uaratanga whaiaro hei turanga e tupu ai te whakaaro-a-ao, ka puāwai.

Ko nga ahuatanga tino hirahira me te motuhake o te IB Primary Years Programme ko nga kaupapa e ono nga kaupapa whakawhiti. Ko enei kaupapa ka whai waahi ki nga Kura o te Ao o IB ki te whakauru i nga take o te rohe me te ao ki roto i te marautanga me te whai hua ki te tuku i nga akonga ki te "whakaneke ake" ki tua atu i nga rohe o te ako i roto i nga kaupapa kaupapa.

I te mea ko enei whakaaro e pa ana ki te ao i tua atu o te kura, ka kite nga akonga i to raatau whai take me te hono atu ki a ia i runga i te whakahihiri me te whakawero. Ko nga akonga e ako penei ana ka timata ki te whakaaro huritao ki o raatau mahi me o raatau kawenga hei akonga, ka uru ki roto i o raatau maatauranga.

IB PYP and Inquiry

(International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme)

In 2024 Keysborough Gardens Primary School proudly became an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World school, offering the Primary Years Programme. IB schools share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging international education.

Each year level inquires into each of the following six Transdiciplinary Themes:

These Transdisciplinary Themes help teachers develop a program of inquiries - investigations into important ideas, identified by the school and requiring high level of involvement on the part of the students.

These ideas relate to the world beyond the school and are an opportunity to incorporate local and global issues into the curriculum. As a result, students see the relevance of ideas and connect with them in an engaging and challenging way.

Students who learn in this way begin to reflect on their roles and responsibilities as learners and become actively involved in their education.
