<DIV>As well as the VATE one on Wednesday which was a great opportunity for conversation, I also attended the Southern Region VCAA forum last night. The power point that David Howes used is available on VCAA website. One point made was that twice as many teachers from NSW have signed up on the Aust Curriculum consultation website. </DIV>
