Welcome to the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline (the Outline) which is for all students from Kindergarten to Year 10.
It sets out the mandated curriculum, guiding principles for teaching, learning and assessment and support for teachers in their assessment and reporting of student achievement.
Pages of the Outline are tagged with either a Mandated Materials icon to indicate mandated materials or a Support Materials icon for support materials.
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority has a phased approach in adopting and adapting the Australian Curriculum version 9 to the Western Australian context. The graphic below indicates the phases of consultation, familiarisation and implementation for each of the learning areas in the Outline.
The familiarisation phase provides schools with the opportunity to review the revised curriculum and apply adjustments to planning documents and resources.
The implementation phase requires the delivery of the revised, mandated content for the year level, along with the appropriate reporting of student achievement.
This phased approach ensures preparation for teaching of the revised curriculum remains manageable for teachers and schools.
Revised Western Australian Curriculum
The Western Australian Curriculum: English and the Western Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education have been adopted and adapted from the Australian Curriculum version 9 and are now available.
Please note that support resources to assist teachers in implementing the curriculum in these learning areas are currently being updated. The resources on the Authority website may still support teachers in planning for teaching, learning and assessment.
