Home Economics fits across both HPE and Technology. We fit with the investigating part
of the HPE standard elaborations and the Generating, Producing, Evaluating,
Collaborating and Managing of Technologies. As it is anticipated that a Home Economics
in the Australian Curriculum document is scheduled for 2016, we will wait for that advice
before making major changes to assessment and criteria.
