The VCAA is giving all teachers of Units 3 and 4 VCE studies and scored VCE VET programs an opportunity to provide feedback on 2007 end of year written examinations. Teachers are encouraged to complete this survey, which will be available from 1 November to 30 November. This is a voluntary survey for teachers. It is being conducted by an independent research company on behalf of the VCAA and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
 
A key priority of the Blueprint for Government Schools is the provision of educational services to address the diverse needs of all students. It is within this context that I am pleased to present the two reports on Year 9 students: Understanding Year 9 Students – A Theoretical Perspective and Understanding Year 9 Students – Implications for Policy and Practice. While the focus of the papers is on Year 9 students, the issues covered are also applicable to students experiencing developmental changes associated with adolescence. Engaging and motivating Year 9 students and meeting their educational needs are critical in ensuring that these students will stay in school. Victoria is currently performing relatively better than the national average in terms of school retention; nonetheless, progress needs to be made in order to meet the challenging target in Growing Victoria Together: A Vision for Victoria to 2010 and beyond that 90 per cent of young people in Victoria complete Year 12 or its equivalent by 2010.
