PYP Exhibition 2024-25
The PYP Exhibition at Shiv Nadar School, Chennai was a remarkable celebration of learning, creativity, and action, marking the culmination of the Primary Years Programme journey as a candidate school. This significant milestone showcased the skills, knowledge, and innovative thinking of our students as they collaboratively explored real-world issues through in-depth inquiry.
Themed around Sharing the Planet - Sustainability, the exhibition featured impactful projects such as drip water irrigation systems promoting efficient water usage, upcycling used clothes into new products to encourage sustainable fashion, and eco-friendly dyes and block printing stations highlighting traditional, low-impact practices. Students also tackled the issue of climate change, inspiring conversations on environmental responsibility and the need for conscious action.
The exhibition process was a true demonstration of student agency, with learners taking ownership of their inquiry—from identifying key issues to developing meaningful solutions. Throughout their journey, they honed essential 21st-century skills, including research, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.
To achieve this, the students worked for weeks, collecting data through surveys, listening to guest lectures, meeting industry experts, and collaborating with their mentors and peers. Their dedication and teamwork were evident in the depth and creativity of their projects.
As parents and guests walked through the exhibition, they were filled with awe at the students' remarkable progress and creativity. The event also inspired younger students, who looked up to their older peers with admiration and aspiration, sparking a love for inquiry and exploration.
The PYP Exhibition was not just a display of projects—it was a powerful reflection of our students' commitment to lifelong learning, their ability to take meaningful action, and their desire to make a positive impact on the world.
