Familiarisation phase
Provides schools with the opportunity to review the revised curriculum and apply adjustments to planning documents and resources.
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.
A phased approach – Western Australian Curriculum
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority has a phased approach in adopting and adapting the Australian Curriculum version 9 to the Western Australian context. This phased approach ensures preparation for teaching of the revised curriculum remains manageable for teachers and schools. The graphic indicates the phases of consultation, familiarisation and implementation for each of the learning areas in the Outline.
Implementation phase
Requires the delivery of the revised, mandated content for the year level, along with the appropriate reporting of student achievement.
