Science and Technology K-12 Guide
Science and Technology Resources in the Curriculum Resources Collection
Science and Technology resources in the Curriculum Resources Collection have been collected to support teaching across the curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 12 as per the programme laid out in the syllabus documents. A copy of each of the Syllabus documents, and some supporting material, will be found in the Curriculum Policy Documents collection.
Staff in the Curriculum Resources Collection are available to assist with developing research skills and negotiating electronic resources.
Copies of syllabus and support documents may also be found on the Board of Studies web site. This site is crucial as all new documents will be published on it, but may not be accessible in hard copy.
