Pre-primary to Year 10: Teaching, Assessing and Reporting Policy Mandated Materials
This policy communicates the mandatory requirements for teaching the Western Australian curriculum and for assessing and reporting student achievement.
This policy must be read in conjunction with the Policy Standards for Pre-primary to Year 10: Teaching, Assessing and Reporting.
Policy statement
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) requires all schools to implement the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline (the Outline), accessible via www.scsa.wa.edu.au, to meet the learning needs of all students in Pre-primary to Year 10.
Scope
This policy applies to all Western Australian schools and approved offshore international schools offering the Western Australian curriculum in Pre-primary to Year 10.
Background
The Outline is informed by Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework 2.0 (EYLF) and the Australian Curriculum. The Outline includes Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines (the Guidelines); because Kindergarten is a non-compulsory year of schooling in Western Australia, these Guidelines are not mandated.
The Outline sets out the mandated knowledge, understandings, skills, values and attitudes that Pre-primary to Year 10 students are expected to acquire in the eight learning areas identified in the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration (2019), the Authority’s Principles of Teaching, Learning and Assessment, expected standards of achievement, and requirements for reporting on student achievement.
