Dear colleague

As you are no doubt aware, ACARA has released the Draft Shape of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies. Years 7 - 12 agriculture/horticulture teachers are strongly encouraged to have their say about the content of this paper as it will determine the future direction of agricultural and horticultural curriculum in the future.

The VCAA, in conjunction with the VAAHE will hold a consultation meeting as follows and invite you to attend:
Date: Wednesday 18 April
Time: 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Place: Elisabeth Murdoch College, 80 Warrandyte Road, Langwarrin

There is no cost for this meeting. Afternoon tea will be provided.

For preliminary reading, the paper and questionnaire are available on the ACARA website http://www.acara.edu.au/curriculum/technologies.html
All attendees will need to have read the paper in order to provide input into the discussion, which will be led by Lorraine Tran, Curriculum Manager, Technologies at the VCAA and Andrew Cosby, the President of the VAAHE. Note that you do not have to be a member of the VAAHE to attend this consultation meeting.

Please RSVP to me as soon as possible if you are able to attend.

Kind regards, Lorraine.
