The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) was buzzing with anticipation as we hosted the 2024 Primary Years Programme Exhibition (PYPX). This annual event marks a significant milestone for our Grade 5 students — a culmination of months of inquiry, collaboration, and creativity. Let’s delve into what makes this year’s PYPX special and how our students are showcasing their growth and understanding.


The PYPX, or Primary Years Programme Exhibition, is a pinnacle moment for our young learners. It’s their chance to demonstrate their understanding of the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and showcase their learning journey. Through in-depth research, critical thinking, and collaborative projects, students explore real-world issues and present their findings to the school community.


This year, our students have chosen diverse themes that resonate with global challenges. From environmental sustainability to cultural heritage, their inquiries span a wide spectrum. Each theme is supported by lines of inquiry that guide their exploration. Whether investigating climate change, biodiversity loss, or social justice, our students are passionate about making a positive impact.


Collaboration is at the heart of the PYPX. Students work in teams, supporting one another as they delve into their chosen topics. They learn to communicate effectively, negotiate ideas, and appreciate diverse perspectives. Along the way, they reflect on their learning process—celebrating breakthroughs, overcoming challenges, and refining their understanding.


At WISS, we believe in nurturing the next generation of global leaders. The PYPX provides a platform for our students to develop essential skills: research, communication, critical thinking, and empathy. As they present their findings, they become advocates for change, inspiring others to take action.


The PYPX celebration extends beyond the exhibition. We honor our students’ achievements through awards, certificates, and heartfelt applause. Parents, teachers, and peers come together to recognize their hard work and dedication. It’s a moment of pride for our entire school community.


As we celebrate the 2024 PYPX, we also look ahead. Our Grade 5 students will soon transition to the Middle Years Programme (MYP), where they’ll continue their IB journey. The skills they’ve honed during the PYPX will serve them well as they tackle new challenges and explore deeper inquiries.


The 2024 PYPX embodies the spirit of inquiry, collaboration, and global citizenship. Our students are not just presenting research; they’re shaping a better world. As we virtually gather to witness their achievements, we celebrate their growth, resilience, and commitment to making a difference.
