We have rebuilt the Stages 4 and 5 section of our website, to make things easier to find. You'll notice our menu now has the following categories:

Under language-specific support, you'll find our existing support across 10 languages. Under learning across the curriculum, you'll find support for cross-curriculum priorities and general capabilities, including literacy and numeracy.

Professional learning now sits within the Stage/s it is relates to – Stages 4 and 5, or Stage 6

We have also redesigned our languages landing page, so that our head teacher support document and our statewide staffrooms are easier to access.
