Get your ducks in a row and start 2021 with a bang
As we race towards the end of the 2020 school year, now is a fantastic time to start preparing for 2021. You’ve all done a fantastic job this year under the circumstances and with exams and report writing now in the rear-view, we can all look forward to a break.
During the break is a good time to start getting your ducks in a row to plan and be ready for a stellar 2021. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to provide you with some awesome professional development opportunities and resources to help you start next year with a bang.

Our Sample School-Assessed Coursework (SACs) resources provide a range of tasks for student assessment and supporting teaching and learning. The VCE® Level Trial Examinations aim to familiarise teachers and students with the Victorian Assessment and Curriculum Authority (VCAA) exam format (reproduced with VCAA permission) and help students with revision and developing exam skills. All ACHPER Victoria resources are developed by teams of leading teachers engaged in the respective subjects and undergo quality control reviews. Learn more >>

We are here to support you and your school in the implementation of your HPE program through the delivery of in-school or virtual workshops, we work with you to build capacity in teachers to enable the delivery of quality HPE. As no two schools or individuals are the same, we can facilitate a virtual workshop, seminar or broader professional learning program tailored to meet the unique needs of your school or team. This way, the learning is always relevant to your professional learning journey. Customised programs can focus on a range of topics such as the Victorian Curriculum, ICT in PE, developing a healthy school environment, games sense or any other topic area to fill gaps in knowledge.
