[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Hi all,

  http://www.acara.edu.au/position_papers.html

The Senior Secondary Years Curriculum Position Paper (version 0.6) 
proposes guidelines for national curriculum development in English, 
Mathematics, History and Science for the senior years of schooling.

(This paper has been developed by ACARA, {the Australian Curriculum, 
Assessment and Reporting Authority} which is responsible for developing 
the national curriculum.)

ACARA invites feedback & comments on this paper until 30 September 2009. 

Feedback on this paper can be sent via email to:
 
  positionpaper at acara.edu.au 

or posted to the:

  Australian Curriculum, Assessment & Reporting Authority, 
  PO Box 177, Carlton South, VIC 3053.


And, Marion writes, (in part) ..

The  more responses that ACARA receives, the better. It is very important
at this stage to express the views of the profession who teach and have
long experience of senior years courses.  Best regards, Marion.
