About

STAGESIX is intended to function primarily as a resource site for teachers of and students in Stage 6 Visual Arts courses in NSW. However, content that relates to Professional Development, Educational Philosophy and the use of Adobe products is intended for the broader educational community.

This is not entirely a new initiative, rather, it is in part a regrouping of content from three older sites and consolidating that information into the one space. As a logical extension of the R.E.W.I.R.E. project STAGESIX will be a focused repository of Case Studies, Frames, Conceptual Framework, Practice analysis, exam strategies and content related to Adobe products etc.

In reading some of the Case Study or Stage 6 analysis content you will notice that posts are sometimes derived from class discussions have been either reproduced as a recount, recollection or otherwise and should be read and interpreted in that spirit.

Posts as ‘Case Studies’ will whenever possible follow a prescribed format that can be integrated into lesson plans by teachers or used as is by students.

The views expressed on this site are mine and do in no way reflect those of the DoE and its agencies or Adobe Inc.
