Onboarding

The SACE Board has developed a comprehensive onboarding training and support package to help new schools and new teachers become familiar with SACE. 

A series of seven modules will be delivered virtually over an 8-12 week period prior to all new schools commencing delivery of the SACE. Each module will be delivered by qualified SACE education consultants.   

To enable you to become familiar with SACE Board systems, orientation sessions will also be set up to guide you in the fundamentals of using our enrolment and resulting system Schools Online and our online learning platform PLATO (Professional learning in assessment and teaching online). 

Modules will be recorded, allowing schools and new teachers to refer to the sessions as needed.
