Curriculum

IMG_2419.jpg

The Australian Curriculum sets out the essential knowledge, understanding, skills, and quality of learning for each Australian student's first 11 years of schooling. 

The Curriculum is three-dimensional as it includes:

  •  learning areas
  •  general capabilities
  • and cross-curriculum priorities.

Together, the three dimensions set out essential knowledge, understanding and skills all young Australians need so they will be able to learn, contribute and shape their world now and in the future.

Eight Learning Areas and disciplines from which they are drawn provide the foundation of learning.

The Australian Curriculum identifies and organises the essential knowledge, understanding, and skills students should learn.

  • English
  • Maths
  • Science
  • Humanities and Social Science
  • The Arts
  • Technologies
  • Health and Physical Education
  • Languages

Seven General Capabilities equip young Australians with the knowledge, skills, behaviours, and dispositions to live and work successfully.

They support and deepen student engagement with learning area content and are developed within the context of the learning areas.

Three Cross Curriculum Priorities support the Australian Curriculum to be a relevant, contemporary and engaging curriculum that reflects national, regional and global contexts. 

They are incorporated through learning area content; they are not separate learning areas or subjects.
