We reviewed the curriculum requirements for Year 9 using the Victorian Curriculum content descriptions. Consideration was given to the new content that becomes part of the curriculum. Existing practical activities, worksheets and assessment task were noted. see google sheet below

Correspondence was sent to Marie Salinger and Anthony Batters seeking clarification re requirement to offer learning content vs mandated learning content.

Our Question…. Raised at our Junior Sci PLT: is our understanding/ argument  correct..

Just say:

we offer micro biol elective – this covers a few of the  F-10  curric  dot points.

SO…. Does this mean as a school we have offered that outcomes  -even though it is via an elective – does this count in the big web/grid of the F-10 curric offered at Galen ?? 

eg: covering the Arts / drama outcomes – not all students select them.. So not all students will get every “dot point”  - BUT Galen offers ALL  the dots points!!  

Hmmmm…
