The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 5 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Year 5, students explore stories from a particular point of view. They consider how narrative structures are used to communicate ideas to an audience for a specific purpose.
Students experiment with codes and conventions, with increasing complexity, to communicate a message or story to an intended audience. They are introduced to protocols in media work.
As students make and respond to media work, they identify and describe how codes and conventions are used to communicate meaning, using appropriate terminology. Students examine the role of media in different cultures and times.
