Consultation on the Draft Science Curriculum | Phase 5

Kia ora koutou kaiako mā

As you may be aware, Bay Science submitted a 300-page A3 document as part of our public feedback for Phases 1–4 of the draft science curriculum.

With consultation on Phase 5 due on June 15th, we once again seek commentary and big-picture ideas.

We have organised a face-to-face hui on Tuesday, 2nd June, from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm.

Our hui also includes English (NZATE), Social Sciences (BoP Social Science Teachers) and Education for Sustainability (NZAEE) at a large venue, so that those from beyond the Bay of Plenty may consider sharing travel expenses.

We look forward to welcoming you,

Lian Soh (info@bayscience.nz)
