Background
In December 1998, ASTF ran a seminar for those involved in the ASTF funded pilots for Years 9 & 10. This seminar saw the initiation of the ASTF Years 9 & 10 National Network.
The Years 9 & 10 National Network has been established with membership from schools and other organisations. These members work with students both within and outside traditional schooling structures.
Purpose
The Years 9 & 10 National Network has been established as a forum for practitioners working within and outside traditional schooling structures to:
- Empower, support and encourage exchanges
- Act as a clearinghouse of ideas and initiatives, models and resources
- Promote good practice that mainstreams Vocational Learning in the compulsory years of schooling
- Serve as a place to find like-minded people, a buddy, a kindred spirit, birds of a feather, allies
How to Join In
The Years 9 & 10 National Network recognises the need to be inclusive in its communication channels. To this end, you may join the network in one of two ways: via an online discussion list called "Reworking 9-10" or by periodical facsimiles called "Reworking 9-10 Bulletins". The Bulletins represent a summary of discussions from the online discussion list and any other non electronic communication with the Network Leader.
To Join the REWORKING9-10 Discussion List:
Fill in the online form or Join via Email1
- If joining by Email, follow the instructions on the Web page for the Reworking9-10 discussion list.
To Receive Periodic REWORKING9-10 Bulletins via Fax:
Similarly, you can register to receive a periodic fax that summarizes the online discussion and collates resources.
Fill in the online form or Email 9-10Network@astf.com.au1

Other networking activities and events may occur from time to time. The Reworking9-10 list and bulletin will promote these as they occur.
