Courses

The Moreton Bay Colleges offer international students the following courses:

Prep to Year 6 Primary School

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (010302)

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an internationally accredited education programme which focuses on academic development and progress alongside social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in a rapidly globalising community. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. The PYP approach to learning aims to develop lifelong learners who are internationally minded. The programme promotes inquiry-based learning as the means for developing deep conceptual understanding, the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills and the taking of responsible action. It seeks to develop the whole person - a students’ academic, social and emotional wellbeing - by engaging children in issues of local and global significance. Students are encouraged to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, courageous, balanced and reflective.
