We aim to develop and deliver educational services to empower each child and young person in the ACT to learn for life.
In November 2023 the ACT Government sought independent advice on opportunities to strengthen literacy and numeracy outcomes for all ACT public school students, with a particular focus on equity.
As we approach winter and the colder weather, we remind families that if your child becomes unwell to please not send them to school until their symptoms have resolved.
The Education Directorate has released its updated Suspension, Transfer or Exclusion of a Student in ACT Public Schools Policy.
A new policy is now in place for the way that mobile phones are managed in all ACT public schools.
In early April, Year 9 and 10 female and gender diverse students from four high schools across the ACT were treated to a special day out at the University of Canberra.
