Embedded Files
Mentors encourage and actively support the well-being and learning of students throughout the process of the Exhibition.
LIS Mentor role and responsibilities:
- allow the mentee to have voice, choice and ownership throughout the Exhibition process
- emphasise with their mentee that the focus is the process rather than the product
- be available to meet with their mentee approximately 2 times per week (in a 5-day schedule - 1 formal meeting and 1 coming into the classroom context). The need for these meetings may change further into the Exhibition process depending on the needs of the mentee
- arrange relevant times/locations to meet with their mentee as determined by the mentor's schedule and ensure responsibility of attending the meeting at arranged times lies with the mentee
- be supportive, encouraging, and provide feedback to their mentee throughout the process
- help guide and monitor their mentee in their setting/accomplishment of specific tasks/weekly learning goals
- suggest resources, help interpret difficult information, guide their mentee to facilitate interviews or Skype/telephone calls/emails
- support mentee with developing their organisational skills, in particular, organising and filing relevant documentation, as needed.
- be responsible for some aspects of formative assessments – provide opportunities for their mentee to reflect on their knowledge, understanding, approaches to learning (skills) and attributes of the learner profile in their Exhibition journal
- communicate mentee successes and/or concerns to Year 6 teachers in a timely manner so they can follow up with the mentee

Mentor Pairings for PYPx 2019
Mentor Pairings for PYPx 2019
Please view the document to your left for the Student-Mentor pairings for this year's PYPx.
We truly appreciate the commitment and support our entire staff demonstrate to the IB PYP Exhibition. This year, we have 57 members of our faculty mentoring our 63 students. Some are mentoring multiple students to ensure each student has the experience of working with a mentor.
Furthermore, thank you to those individuals of staff who, given their busy schedules, could not mentor, but have offered to be experts that students can contact as primary resources throughout the process. Truly, for a relatively small faculty, 57 mentors is truly reflective of our staff's dedication and care of our student body.
Thank you LIS staff for your support!
