Introduction to K-6 PDHPE and Science and Technology
Recently, we had an overwhelming attendance at the Introduction to the K–6 PDHPE Syllabus Zoom session. This session provided leaders and teachers with an overview of the key messages of curriculum reform and the new 2024 PDHPE syllabus. Participants explored the implications of implementation, began developing an implementation plan, and gained an understanding of the resources and supports available to schools.
Throughout this semester, schools are continuing to familiarise themselves with the syllabus and support materials in preparation for implementation in 2026. Schools can reach out to the ILW Learning K–12 team learningk-12support@dow.catholic.edu.au for further assistance at any time.
Introduction to K-6 Science and Technology via Zoom
School instructional leaders and teachers are invited to engage in this professional learning opportunity: Introduction to the Science and Technology syllabus and support materials (via Zoom), which will provide an introduction to each syllabus, NESA support material, and CEDoW support material.
Registration for this professional learning opportunity can be accessed here.
