Australian Curriculum

The Australian Curriculum sets out the core knowledge, understanding, skills and general capabilities important for all Australian students.  The Australian Curriculum describes the learning entitlement of students as a foundation for their future learning, growth and active participation in the Australian community.  It makes clear what all young Australians should learn as they progress through schooling. It is the foundation for high quality teaching to meet the needs of all Australian students.

K-10 Syllabus

The K-10 Syllabuses are advisory materials. 

The syllabuses detail content at each year of schooling and phase of development from kindergarten to year 10. Syllabuses are provided for Early Childhood (K-3), Middle Childhood (4-7) and each learning area in Early Adolescence (8-10).

When using these advisory materials, teachers will continue to make professional judgements about when to introduce content based on students' prior learning and achievement.
