Learn how projects and assessments in Prep at Malvern College Hong Kong make learning visible and support each pupil’s progress and next steps.
A Comprehensive Approach to Prep Learning.
At MCHK, we take great pride in implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), which lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our approach to projects and assessments emphasises collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, ensuring that each child’s learning journey is both enriching and comprehensive.
Assessment is an integral part of the learning process at our school. Throughout the primary years, we utilise a diverse range of assessment methods that adhere to international standards. Our pupils are evaluated through both formative and summative assessments, which provide valuable insights into their progress and understanding.
We prioritise a holistic approach by incorporating self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment tools, ensuring that pupils gain a comprehensive view of their learning. This multifaceted evaluation system not only fosters self-reflection but also encourages a growth mindset, empowering our pupils to take ownership of their learning and set personal goals for continuous improvement.
Through engaging projects and a robust assessment framework, we strive to create an inspiring and motivating environment for our pupils as they embark on their educational journey in the IB PYP programme.
In the final year of the Primary Years Programme, our pupils engage in a significant collaborative project that encapsulates their learning experiences. During this project, Prep 6 pupils synthesise the knowledge, conceptual understanding, and skills they have developed throughout the programme. They have the freedom to choose a topic they are passionate about, allowing them to explore areas of personal interest and relevance.
