Year 6 Exhibition

The year 6 Exhibition will be held on Wednesday 11 November.  This is an annual event and a culmination of learning for our year 6 students. 

However  this year it will be a virtual exhibition (due to Covid restrictions).

As part of their preparation for the PYP Exhibition, the Year 6 classes had a virtual visitor to talk to them this week.  The Exhibition is based on the theme of Sharing the planet and as part of this theme, a couple of groups are looking at the issue of homelessness.  To find out more about this issue and how it relates to the theme of sharing the planet, Melissa from The Big Issue office in Sydney met with the Year 6 classes via video link.  She spoke to the students about what people need to have a happy, full and complete life and what can happen to people when supports are removed.  She shared some of the facts about homelessness which run counter to the stereotypes we hear.  She spoke about the problems faced by people living on the margins and the ways organisations like The Big Issue help people affected by homelessness.

The Year 6s also heard from Marcus, who had experienced some major problems in his life which led to his becoming homeless.  He shared what it was like to deal with homelessness and how his work with The Big Issue helped him when he was in a difficult situation.
