Briefings for secondary school administrators will run from late March until May. They are an opportunity to be updated on curriculum, assessment and moderation for Years 7 – 12 and to provide feedback to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority Board.

In Term 2, the School Curriculum and Standards Authority will offer a workshop/briefing for primary administrators and curriculum leaders focusing on strategies, developed with practising teachers, on planning for all eight learning areas in recognition of the teaching time available to schools.
