Schools are advised that the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) will be offering Teacher, School Leader, and Endorsed Programs Meeting WACE Requirements seminars from late February 2025.

Meeting WACE Requirements Seminars – Teachers

Learning area-specific Meeting WACE Requirements will be offered to Heads of Learning Area and Teachers from late February 2025. The purpose of these seminars is to provide key information on the Authority’s planning, teaching, assessing and moderation requirements that teachers and Heads of Learning Area need to follow when delivering senior secondary courses.

These seminars will support:

• schools that are offering a course for the first time in 2025 or reintroducing a course for the first time since 2016
• teachers delivering one or more WACE courses for the first time in 2025 (e.g. graduate teachers, teachers who have not previously taught Year 11 or Year 12, teachers whose experience has been interstate or overseas).

Meeting WACE Requirements Seminars – School Leaders

A Meeting WACE Requirements seminar tailored specifically for school leaders will be held on Tuesday, 4 March 2025.

The seminar will:

• support new school leaders and others who would benefit from being made aware of the Authority’s requirements for delivering senior secondary WACE courses in 2025
• focus on the key WACE requirements and responsibilities for all schools offering senior secondary courses, as outlined in the WACE Manual 2025.

Meeting WACE Requirements Seminars – Endorsed Programs

Meeting WACE Requirements seminars focusing on endorsed programs, and tailored for school leaders, VET and workplace learning coordinators and teachers, will be held on Wednesday, 5 March and Thursday, 6 March 2025.

These seminars will:

• support schools that are offering an endorsed program for the first time in 2025
• provide information on endorsed programs and how they contribute towards the WACE
• assist schools in managing and assessing endorsed programs for students in Years 10, 11 and 12 appropriately.
