The new Japanese syllabus (released 2017) has now been integrated into NESA's Program Builder. The Program Builder is an online programming tool that allows teachers to select outcomes and content directly from the syllabus in order to create scope and sequences and units.

Teachers are able to sign in to Program Builder using their departmental or Scootle login details and the Program Builder is accessible from NESA's website using the following link:
http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/understanding-the-curriculum/programming

A reminder that implementation of the new Japanese syllabus is in 2019 (for Years 7 and 9) and in 2020 (for Years 8 and 10).

BOSTES Sydney Morning Herald HSC Study Guide 2014


Every year the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) works with Fairfax Media to publish the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) HSC Study Guide that is relevant to the needs of HSC students, teachers and parents.

This year the Guide will be available in print and digital format. The print version appeared in the Monday 16
June
edition of the SMH and digital copy on the SMH website

Year 12 students received an email from 6pm Monday 16 June containing a link to the digital version. Year 11 students received an email with the link from 6pm on Tuesday 17 June.

Schools are asked to remind students to check their email so they can access the digital version of the Guide.

The move to digital has allowed for inclusion of a greater range of resources such as:

Videos of teachers answering HSC type questions

    HSC test yourself quizzes
  • Links to relevant BOSTES endorsed resources

  •  Videos with comments from 2013 First In Course recipients.

Following the move to a digital version with its enhanced resources, Fairfax will no longer print additional copies which were previously sent to schools

In addition to the feedback opportunities included in the digital version of the Guide, BOSTES welcomes direct feedback on the 2014 Study Guide to help us plan the 2015 edition.

Central Coast Language teachers’ meeting to discuss BOS Languages
Review


I'm running a network meeting for all Central Coast DEC language teachers (primary and secondary) to discuss the BOS Languages Review 2-4 pm on Wednesday 11th December at Erina high school. I would encourage all language teachers to try and attend this meeting as the approver from Hunter/Central Coast Region Office will use the numbers of attendance at this meeting to potentially support a regular Central Coast language teachers network meeting into the future.
Please search the course code: NR05727
Enrolments in this course must be made by Friday 6th December.
Afternoon tea will be provided.
Thank you,
Julie.
