Register now to participate in the 2014 up2now pilot project

 

Secondary schools are invited to register to participate in BOSTES' 2014 pilot of the up2now – my ongoing learning portfolio website which allows Year 10, 11 and 12 students to record, organise and share evidence of extracurricular activities.

As an adjunct to the Record of School Achievement (RoSA), the up2now website gives Year 10, 11 and 12 students the opportunity to develop skills describing, organising and presenting their broader learning, community service and volunteering involvement, and other awards and achievements.

Students can use up2now to share this information with prospective employers or use it to access other education or training pathways.

For schools, up2now is a useful tool for Careers Advisors working with students intending to leave school prior to the HSC. The site can also be a teaching resource in curriculum areas with a vocational focus such as Work Education CEC in Year 10 and Work Studies CEC in Year 11.

Registration closes Friday, 7 March 2014.

Registered schools will be provided with further information in Week 10, Term 1.
