Learning and assessment plans
Stage 2 pre-approved learning and assessment plans (LAPs) can be downloaded below. Pre-approved LAPs can be used without amendment, however, you should consider how the selected pre-approved LAP can be adapted to meet the needs and interests of your student cohort. You can also develop your own plan using the school-developed LAP form.
- Amendments to any assessments described in a selected pre-approved LAP should be recorded in the addendum of the LAP.
- Schools are required to implement processes to confirm that the learning and assessment plan being adopted meets current year subject outline specifications.
