[Catalist] Release of consultation draft of new ATAR Agricultural Science syllabus

[Allan Knight]

Hello Science Teachers,

The School Curriculum and Standards Authority has developed a new ATAR Agricultural Science course for teaching from 2024.

The public consultation drafts of these new Years 11 and 12 syllabuses are available on the course pages for Animal Production Systems (https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/science/animal-production-systems) or Plant Production Systems (https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/science/plant-production-systems).

The Authority would value feedback from science teachers including those who do not teach the current agricultural courses (Animal Production Systems and Plant Production Systems) and a link to an online survey for teachers to provide feedback is also available on the same pages as above. Teachers are encouraged to provide feedback using the survey.

As well, online teacher information sessions about these new syllabuses are scheduled for Monday, 16 May and Thursday, 19 May from 4.00-6.00pm. You can register to attend this event on the Events page of the SCSA website (https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/events/syllabus-review-information-sessions).

You are welcome to share this information with colleagues whom you think may be interested in providing feedback on this new course.

Regards,
Allan
