MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION 299
High School and College Students -
Personal Portfolios
MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 13 August 1992:
For what purpose will the "personal portfolios" valued at $13,500 (ACT Gazette 12 August 1992, Contracts Arranged) be used and by whom.
MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:
The purpose of a Personal Portfolio is to enable a
student to build up a portfolio of academic certificates,
references, awards and any other useful documents for
employment and other uses. ..
A Personal Portfolio consists of a plastic rind folder containing 20 plastic envelopes. It is also issued with a number of printed inserts, which include explanatory brochures and a message from the Minister for Education and Training..
Portfolios are issued each year to Year 10 high school students, as well as to any students attending Years 11 or 12 who had not previously received a Portfolio from the Department. Students may be assisted in the use of their Portfolios through Careers Education programs and other sessions structured within their schools.
The Portfolios have been produced and issued each year since 1989. Most other state Education Departments produce and issue similar Portfolios.
