Exhibition materials on the OCC

The IB is interested in distributing examples of exhibitions to other PYP schools; this is to disseminate good practice rather than to monitor school performance. In order to facilitate this process, schools are invited to submit their exhibition records, including sample documents, to IB Cardiff, in a format that can be stored and distributed, for possible use on the OCC. Please send contributions to pyp@ibo.org or PYP department, International Baccalaureate, Peterson House, Malthouse Avenue, Cardiff Gate, Cardiff, Wales, CF23 8GL, United Kingdom.

As indicated in the General regulations: Primary Years Programme (2007), when students enter the PYP, schools should ask legal guardians to indicate in writing whether they agree to their child’s materials being submitted to the IB Organization. A “Sample parental permission form” that explains to parents how their child’s work or visual image could be used by the IB is available in the PYP Coordinator’s handbook. Parents may sign a version of this form to give or withhold their permission, and the school is required to keep this form in each student’s personal file. Any examples of student work, photographs, videos or images should have copyright permission before being sent for inclusion on the OCC.
