Victorian teacher, Sophie Fenton, wins US International Space Camp Award
‘Effective teachers are powerful agents of change – they facilitate the growth of young people, empower them as learners and help them to develop into proactive citizens.’ These are the
words of Sophie Fenton, a VCE teacher from Ballarat Grammar, who has received the NEiTA 2013 ASG International Space Camp Award.
Sophie was initially nominated by her school’s parents and friends association and was one of 12 teachers from Australia and New Zealand selected for a NEiTA 2012 ASG National Teaching Award. Sophie was then declared the 2013 International Space Camp Award winner, for which she will represent Australia in Alabama, USA.
Of the accolade, Sophie said she felt ‘humbled and privileged to be included in such an incredible collection of exceptional Australian educators’.
Sophie’s approach to education is grounded in her belief that ‘effective teaching is about being open-minded, resilient, creative and flexible’. She demonstrates three essential qualities to her classes: a love of the job, a commitment to developing relationships of mutual respect with her students, and an enthusiasm for her subjects. Sophie observes that by ‘bringing passion for your subject into the classroom, kids can’t help but get caught up in the excitement’.
Sophie’s efforts to provide exceptional learning outcomes for her students have extended her beyond the classroom. Throughout her 15 years in the education sector, she has enjoyed working for curriculum bodies such as Social Education Victoria and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria, and as a Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) assessor.
For Sophie, the collegial in format ion-shar ing tha t accompanies these activities is ‘at the heart of education’. When asked how being a VCAA assessor contributed to her approach as a teacher, Sophie said; ‘It had a direct and significant impact on my teaching practice … and opened my eyes to the craft and technical challenges of an exam for students.’
The VCAA congratulates S o p h i e F e n t o n o n h e r magnificent achievement and wishes her every success at the International Space Camp.

CEO’s COLUMN
VCAA BULLETIN VCE, VCAL and VET JULY 2013 3
Senior Secondary Curriculum ReformWe have recently released three consultation papers covering different aspects of our agenda under the strengthening senior secondary pathways element of Towards Victoria as a Learning Community.
The first two, Strengthening pathways in senior secondary qualifications and Strengthening Chinese Language provision in Senior Secondary Schooling have elicited strong and most helpful feedback. We are currently analysing the responses and preparing reports for the Board. In both cases, the responses have opened up discussion on variations on the options contained in the consultation paper. This is precisely why we go through this process of developing propositions, testing with stakeholders and revising them as a result. Both of the policy areas covered are of vital importance to the continuous improvement of our qualifications. We will soon be proceeding to the next stage of formulating recommendations to the Board and subsequently working with you to develop implementation strategies to ensure that worthwhile improvements can be successfully delivered.
The third discussion paper, Proposed directions: Review of VCE English, History, Mathematics and Science studies, is currently still out for comment. This paper is part of the first phase of a two-phase process leading to the review and reaccreditation of VCE studies in these areas. The paper is not about the specific content of individual subjects. Rather, it proposes the structure of the studies to be developed in these areas. In most cases this is a revision of an existing study but
CEO’s columnthere are proposals for new and substantially different studies in all areas. The paper outlines how the VCE reviews intend to use the Australian Curriculum, among other resources, including international benchmarking and our existing courses, as the studies are developed.
We would welcome your feedback by the end of July to inform the Board’s decision about the scope, nature and range of the reviews. Once these decisions are taken, we will be forming our expert reference groups for each subject to develop an initial consultation draft and undertake a full consultation with all our stakeholders. At the same time we are examining how we might more clearly define our expectations of literacy and numeracy achievement in both VCE and VCAL, and whether and how that might be reported more directly.
We anticipate releasing a specific set of proposals on these matters later in the year. As always, the quality of your input is our true safeguard in maintaining and enhancing the quality of our senior secondary qualifications.
New Board membersThe Governor-in-Council recently appointed four new members of the Board and re-appointed, Tony Larkin, Principal, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, for three-year terms. Our new members are Professor Anne Jones, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Victoria University; Suzy Chandler, Principal, Fintona Girls’ School; Russell Pettis, formerly Managing Director of Denso Automotive Systems and Andree Poulter, Assistant Principal, Epping Secondary College. We welcome Tony back and look forward to the injection of fresh ideas from our four new Board members, each of whom has outstanding credentials to make a significant contribution.

VCAL Update
Online consultation on draft revised VCAL Work Related Skills units
During 2013, the VCAA is undertaking a review of the VCAL Work Related Skills (WRS) units to ensure that
the content remains relevant and meets the needs of the student cohort.
A VCAL WRS Unit Review Panel was established in late December 2012. Following consultation with key interest groups, the panel has proposed a number of changes:• WRS Unit 1 at all levels continues to have a focus on
occupational health and safety.• WRS Unit 2 at all levels continues to focus predominantly
on employability skills.
The VCAA would like input on the proposed changes from teachers who are delivering VCAL WRS units and other interested stakeholders. This input will be taken into consideration and presented to the WRS Unit Review Panel before final endorsement by the VCAA and accreditation by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority.
The draft revised Curriculum Planning Guide: Industry Specific Skills Strand and Work Related Skills Strand and the consultation survey about the draft document can be accessed on the VCAA website. Online consultation closes Friday 9 August 2013.
