Here at CLIC (NSW Curriculum and Learning Innovation Centre) we have created a survey as part of the DEC response to the NSW Board of Studies.  The survey needs to be completed by Monday 5th March. To help work through Version 2 of the Draft, we have created a powerpoint that highlights some of the changes. 

The Board of Studies is also conducting consultation meetings across the state.
