It is essential that all teachers have access to the eCircular. It contains important information about courses, exams, certification and other policies and procedures. The eCircular is published at least once a term. All items that appear in eCircular are repeated in the hard-copy WACE Circular, which is distributed to schools at the start of each term. This dual approach ensures that teachers and administrators get crucial information in a timely manner and there is a consolidated print record of all communications in the WACE Circular.
Principals and the Council's school contacts for assessment and moderation, vocational education and training and enrolments are automatically included on the distribution list.
Other teachers, support staff and stakeholders who want to subscribe can register through the Curriculum Council website at http://www.curriculum.wa.edu.au.
