 Hi, I'm Rob Randall, Chief Executive Officer of Akara. This VOD cast is about Akara's achievements in 2013 and our plans for 2014. Over the last 12 months, the Akara staff have worked extremely hard to deliver the work program set for us by state and territory education ministers. This work has included the development of the Australian Curriculum, the Administration of the National Assessment Program and the collection and publication of school data. Our rigorous national approach is all about establishing higher standards for education in Australia through curriculum assessment reporting. This year we've consulted with thousands of teachers and education experts to develop Australian curriculum in six areas – geography, the arts, civics and citizenship, economics and business, health and physical education and technologies. I'd like to thank all of those who have been involved for their contribution and the difference they've made. It's very much appreciated. The geography and arts curriculum were endorsed by ministers earlier in the year and the other four were noted by the Standing Council in late November. We will finalise the arts, civics and citizenship, economics and business, health and physical education and technologies curriculum and make them available in the near future. States and territories can then work with their schools and teachers on implementation. The curriculum in English, Mathematics, Science and History is being taught across the country right now. For the first time, Australian school students and teachers are working with the same curriculum. We believe that setting high national standards for all Australians is important and it will make a difference as implementation continues. ACARA has worked with States and Territories to once again deliver NAPLAN tests to around one million school students and reports have been issued to students and their parents and carers. National and State and Territory results have been reported in the NAPLAN summary and national reports in September and December this year. NAPLAN data helps us understand the literacy and numeracy achievements of students. We know that this nationally comparable data is valued by parents and teachers, school leaders and education authorities. Through our reporting programs, including the annual update of data on the My School website, schools, parents and the wider community have a better understanding of what's happening within their school and in schools across the country. One of our key achievements this year was the online delivery of sample assessment in civics and citizenship. Approximately 12,000 students from 680 schools participated in this program. Its successful delivery gives us a first hand glimpse of what NAPLAN online will look like. Students and testing the computer paced delivery of NAPLAN is exciting work and it will continue in 2014. There are many good stories told about how the work of a carer is making a difference. We hear about teachers using NAPLAN results to improve student outcomes at a school level. We see examples of teachers developing and sharing curriculum resources to support the teaching of the Australian curriculum in their classrooms. If you have a story to tell about effective ways you are using the Australian curriculum and or NAPLAN results, please contact us at this address. A carer is focused on continuous improvement and ongoing pursuit of excellence in school education. We are committed to partnering with teachers, parents and education authorities as we go about our work. We believe our efforts are making a difference to the lives of young Australians. I and all those who work at a carer have enjoyed working with you this year and we look forward to your continuing support for our work in 2014. I wish you all the best for a happy and safe festive season. Thank you.
