Sample Assessment Project (SAP)
The VCAA and DEECD are conducting a Sample Assessment Project (SAP) to develop assessment materials for the Health and Physical Education Domain of the VELS for levels 4, 6, 8 and 10. The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) has been contracted to manage this stage of the project. ACER is seeking expressions of interest from schools and teachers to be involved in SAP. Schools/teachers are able to register interest in just the Health knowledge and promotion dimension of the Health and Physical Education Domain of the VELS, therefore this project may be of interest to health education or home economics teachers.
