Geography K-10 draft syllabus: consultation to commence soon
BOSTES is currently drafting a new NSW syllabus for K–10 Geography. The new syllabus will incorporate Australian curriculum content that was agreed to by the Education Ministers in May 2013.
As with the development of previous syllabuses, BOSTES welcomes the views and opinions of teachers from across all education sectors, and from the broader community.
Consultation will occur during Term 3 through an online survey and through face-to-face meetings in a range of NSW locations.
Dates for consultation meetings are:
| Sydney Metropolitan Area |
30 July Liverpool Catholic Club 4pm - 6pm |
6 August Waldorf Apartment Hotel Pennant Hills 4pm - 6pm |
20 August Tradies Wallara Events Centre Gymea 4pm - 6pm |

| Regional NSW | 4 August Moruya Golf Club 4pm - 6pm |
11 August Coffs ExServices Memorial & Sporting Club Coffs Harbour 4pm - 6pm |
13 August Duntryleague Function Centre Orange 4pm - 6pm |
21 August Southside Leagues Club Griffith 4pm - 6pm |
Online registration for consultation meetings will be available on the BOSTES website early in Term 3.
Feedback provided to BOSTES during consultation will be used to develop the final syllabus.
