ACARA Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority
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.
The Australian Curriculum is being developed progressively.
Change to the key elements of the curriculum (rationale, aims, content descriptions or achievement standards) will be recorded with a change to the version number before the point eg from 2.n to 3.n. Updates to the curriculum such as additional information or editorial changes, will be noted by a change to the number after the point. The appropriate version number will also be visible on any documents downloaded and printed from the Australian Curriculum website.
Detail of changes made to previous versions and those that are now evident in the Australian Curriculum, will be recorded and can be viewed on the website under site map and ‘curriculum version history’.
The Overview describes the elements of the Australian Curriculum. The Foundation to Year 10 Australian Curriculum can be viewed in different ways according to the needs and interests of the user – by learning area and strands, by year level or levels – and filtered for general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities.
