UPDATES
& CHANGES
One way or another, there will always be some level of change on any site. This may be significant such as when complete design changes occur, or small in comparison with the addition or removal of small amounts of data [e.g. an added conference]. As skills and options increase, there may be other changes. This has been the case since the internet and its use by others began.
We are always going through times such as these. Additionally, there are times when changes are less visible but just as important - e.g. cleaning out, updating and/or improving code.
We are also going to be looking for more visual evidence of education over the generations. We already have a small collection of images we feel are appropriate but will be seeking more to maintain the presentation.
Future details will be listed by date over the remainder of this year.

During February, the following pages have been fully updated :
School Subjects, Easter and ANZAC Day. - Most important of all has been the major change to the home page. This has now become simply an introductory page to the rest of the site. Some material previously found there is now found on individual pages. An aspect, Images of education over the years, has been added. Only a small area will contain other information, most of which will be concerned with offering opportunities to provide input to various education reviews, proposed changes, etc., as well as raise awareness of new programs that have become available [see the current front page]. It is also likely the front page will have colour and other graphical changes before we finalise it.
Other Changes
- As a result of changes to the home page, three new pages have been added. These are the News Headlines, Research Articles and Updates and Changes pages. These will only be accessible from the home page and the Sitemap.
- New ! and Updated ! indicators will be added to relevant links on all pages, especially those which have been fully updated. Our intent is that these will only remain for the following 3 full months before being removed.
