When complete, this site will provide educators with access to copies of the Western Australian Student Outcome Statements (downloadable pdf files), Work Samples (downloadable pdf files), connections to the Curriculum Framework and summary information about the Learning Areas. The information on this site is draft only, as the Student Outcome Statements and Standards Framework is continually being re-evaluated and reviewed.
Internet Sites: State And Territory Education Services
Each Australian State and Territory maintains a web site/s, which outlines the Government Education Services provided in that State. In several States responsibility for Education is divided into two sections, compulsory and post-compulsory schooling. While a variety of approaches has been developed to disseminate information via the Internet, all of these sites are comprehensive and offer a wide range of information about services, current initiatives and curriculum development in Australian education. Local information for each school system can be found on these sites, plus school directories, policy documents, strategic plans, teacher resources, curriculum resources, links to mailing lists and Internet links for teachers and students to special programs, collaborative projects, examples of best practice and data on current research.
