NOTES
The boards have been set so you can only see your own responses at this time. This is so we can capture independent responses.  However, we will make all the cards public once people have had the chance to contribute.

This session is about the curriculum – as such the focus should be on that as opposed to issues such as DPIAs, tech infrastructure, teacher recruitment.  While these are all issues that are important and require work, it is not the main aim of this session.
