Phase One of 'primezone' now live!

Our website for schools 'www.primezone.edu.au' went live on 25 August 2011. This is the first step in developing a one-stop web portal for primary industries resources for schools, teachers and the broader community. The first 50-60 resources currently on the site will be supplemented by additional resources and filtering mechanisms over the next 9-12 months. The resources will also be searchable according to the Australian Curriculum once the curriculum has been 'signed off' by the Ministers for Education.

We welcome comments and feedback. We are especially keen to receive resources that teachers are currently using and would recommend to other teachers. We are also keen to promote news and events related to primary industries education via our website.
