Primary Curriculum Self-assessment
The Curriculum Self-assessment professional learning simplifies the statutory and legislative requirements for curriculum monitoring in schools.
All primary schools can strengthen their school improvement journey by participating in the Primary Curriculum Self-assessment (K-6).
