eCircular Tuesday, 9 June 2009

Welcome to Edition 3 of eCircular for 2009. eCircular is published at least twice a term to support Curriculum Council communications. All items that appear in eCircular will be repeated in the quarterly WACE Circular. This dual approach ensures that teachers and administrators get crucial information in a timely manner and there is a consolidated print record of all communications in the WACE Circular.

Recipients include principals and the Council's school contacts for assessment and moderation, vocational education and training and enrolments. Principals are encouraged to pass the information on to other relevant staff.

Other teachers, support staff and stakeholders who want to subscribe should email info@curriculum.wa.edu.au. Please include your full name, school and preferred email address.
