Consultation — New South Wales

Two well attended consultation meetings have been held in Sydney. The meetings were attended by participants from independent and state secondary schools, tertiary institutions and retired persons.

The second consultation meeting held on Tuesday 24 March 2009 discussed the Background Report and in particularly alternative ways of organising a national geography curriculum.

People who attended the consultation forums as well as those who submitted online and paper-based submissions are thanked for the valuable feedback they provided to the writers.
