Young people input into the National Curriculum through ReachOut

12 April 2012

The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has released the draft Shape of the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education for public consultation until June 3rd, 2012.

ACARA also recently approached ReachOut.com to facilitate a discussion with young people, and get their input into what they hope to see in the national curriculum on Health and Physical Education. This consultation will take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 from 7.30pm to 8:30pm and will be run as a live, moderated discussion through the ReachOut.com Facebook page.

The draft Shape of the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education outlines the direction for the development of the national Health and Physical Education curriculum for years F – 12. After the consultation, all feedback will be analysed and used to revise the draft document before it's published as The Shape of the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education.

Further information on the development of the national Health and Physical Education curriculum, including a proposed timeline, can be accessed on the ACARA website - http://www.acara.edu.au/hpe.html.

For any questions regarding the draft Shape paper, contact ACARA in the first instance at info@acara.edu.au, or for any questions on the online consultation with ReachOut, please feel free to contact the ReachOut team at crew@reachout.com.au.
