The Holy Trinity Primary School, Curtin community celebrated the many weeks of inquiry, research and collaboration undertaken by the Year 6 students in the Primary Years Program (PYP) Exhibition this month.

The 2019 theme was ‘Where we are in Place and Time’, drawing on the central idea that inspiration and knowledge can be used for purposeful change.

Students selected their own lines of inquiry that reflected on a wide range of issues including prosthetics, equality, cancer and refugees, through art, drama and dance.

The exhibition is an integral part of Holy Trinity’s teaching and learning program that provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and attitudes developed through their primary years.

Assistant Principal, Katie Smith said that students displayed passion and maturity beyond their years when they presented their research and responded to questions confidently and articulately.

“Our PYP exhibition is a whole of school celebration and thanks must go to all our teaching staff who have worked alongside our Year 6 students,” she said.

“It is the open minded, knowledgeable and reflective Year 6 students that made Holy Trinity's 2018 PYP exhibition a great success.”

Year 6 student Emily said that she loved researching her chosen topic because it allowed her to develop a deeper understanding.

“I learnt so much about the challenges people go through and it has inspired me to make a change for refugees,” she said.

Will said that the exhibition provided him with an opportunity to use all of the skills he had learnt over the years to inquire into one of his passions.

“I feel I am a better learner for having had this experience,” he said.
