MANSW Written Submission
As part of the Stage 6 Syllabus review process, MANSW has developed a Written Submission for the Board of Studies. The information in this submission was gathered from MANSW members at our Preliminary Stage 6 Discussion Forum on 1st June, as well as other e-mails, faxes and phone calls from members. It has been submitted to the Board of Studies as part of the review process and is available for MANSW members to download here.

Feedback from OBOS Stage 6 Oral Submissions
Earlier in the year, MANSW was given the opportunity to present an Oral Submission to the Board of Studies. Twelve such Oral Submissions were heard from a range of individuals and organisations and the Board of Studies has developed a summary of the points that were raised. This summary was presented to the June meeting of the Board Curriculum Committee for this project and is available for MANSW members to download here.
Stage 6 Mathematics Curriculum Writers
OBOS Calls for Expressions of Interest
To assist with the Stage 6 Mathematics syllabus review and revision, the Office of the Board of Studies is currently creating a register of curriculum writers. The register will be used to identify potential syllabus writers or to identify writers to undertake other tasks associated with the development of syllabus materials. Interested MANSW members are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible to ensure that they can be considered for work on the development of syllabuses for Stage 6 Mathematics. More information, including application forms, is available in the Board Bulletin (Vol 15, No. 3) or in the Mathematics Official Notices on the Board of Studies website.
