This year for the first time at LIS, students will be able to chose which transdisciplinary theme the use to guide their inquiry. To help get to know how different issues can been seen through different lenses, students made connections from the UN sustainable development goals to the important words and phrases in each theme.

In Visual Arts students were inspired by a local artist, Parasol, who shared his sculptures with Year 6 students, talked about his process and what inspired and motivated him to express himself this way. Students were also inspired by Year 13 students who were sharing their final art projects.

Analysing action helps students to understand different form of action. Smaller actions don't mean they are less meaningful. Sometimes they are harder to identify because we do them without thinking but nevertheless they are just as important and possibly even more sustainable.

How will reading, writing and maths be incorporated into the exhibition. Students thought about how to end their primary education by showcasing the skills they have learned over the years. How writing can cause CHANGE and how reading give us POWER.

Year 6 students were able to watch 3 Year 11 personal project presentations. It was so interesting to see how many connections and commonalities there were between our PYP exhibition and their Yr 11 Personal Projects. They shared their reflections on ATLS, and their challenges and successes, the had a mentor and an advisor, they took action and were inspired by others. They were also very inspiring to us at the same time!
