ACT Meeting #3 - Year Seven Transition

Next Wednesday, the 6th August, is the third of the Australian Curriculum Talks, which will be held in the Kalgoorlie Primary School library from 3.30-4.30pm.

Whilst the content and discussions will be relevant to all teacher and administrators, we have a special Year Seven Transition flavour to this event. 

• Mr David Bryant, HOLA English at KBCHS, will share a 15-20 min presentation that will briefly cover these topics:

         - context of KBCHS

         - where KBCHS is at and where we're going with AC and Y7 planning/implementation

         - why a whole school approach to teaching literacy was developed and steps taken to implement it

        - share the strategy
        - quick Q&A 

•  Informal discussion around the literacy demands of students in upper primary school and early high school. 
• General sharing of tasks and activities which support the teaching of literacy skills across the curriculum. 

Please register via the PLI or contact Mel for further information. 

Updated ACARA work sample portfolios

Updated and improved annotated student work sample portfolios have been posted on the Australian Curriculum website!

Each portfolio is an example of evidence of student learning in relation to the achievement standard. The portfolios indicate quality that is satisfactory, above satisfactory and below satisfactory. The annotations are key when viewing the portfolio as they describe the quality of what is demonstrated.

The portfolios are available on the Australian Curriculum website on each of the learning area pages for English, Maths, Science and History.
