Pastoral care and wellbeing are vital to learning and teaching in the PYP and are embodied in the IB learner profile, which represents the qualities of internationally-minded students and effective lifelong learners.
The development of a student’s wellbeing can be implicitly and explicitly addressed through all areas of the PYP curriculum. Therefore, every teacher has a responsibility to support each student’s personal, social and physical development through all learning engagements both within and outside the programme of inquiry.
