Working at SBB

Early Childhood

We operate an Early Childhood centre, with a Playgroup and Pre-Kindy section.  Playgroup at SBB is for students who are 3 years of age and Pre-Kindy for students turning 4.  The program follows a ‘Play-Based’ curriculum, and is also a part of the PYP program in the Primary school.

Primary Years Program (PYP)

The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 - 12 nurtures and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.

Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts.

Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The  IB Middle Years Program comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. The MYP requires at least 50 hours of teaching time for each subject group, in each year of the programme. In the final two years of the programme, carefully-defined subject group flexibility allows students to meet local requirements and personal learning goals.
