The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) invites teachers and other stakeholders to provide feedback about the Aboriginal and Intercultural Studies Years 11 and 12 ATAR consultation draft syllabuses.
Feedback received will be considered by the Authority as a part of its review process.
The survey should take approximately 25 minutes to complete. There are a number of specific questions as well as the opportunity to make ATAR comments at the end of the survey.
We may not be able to respond to all comments and suggestions made via the survey, but we will read them all, and we appreciate your contributions.
Note: the Rationale, Aims, Organisation and Principles and protocols for teaching and learning in the Aboriginal and Intercultural Studies Years 11 and 12 ATAR consultation draft syllabuses are the same as the newly revised Years 11 and 12 Aboriginal and Intercultural Studies General Course. Therefore, there are no survey questions that relate to these sections of the syllabus, as they will be revised as part of the next syllabus review cycle.Note: only complete survey responses will be considered.
Note also that you can use, from Page 2, a Save and Continue toolbar on the top right of your browser window. You will be emailed a link to allow you to continue your survey if you run out of time.
