Australian Curriculum

The Australian Curriculum sets the expectations for what all Australian students should be taught, regardless of where they live or their background. For Foundation/Prep-10, it means that students now have access to the same content, and their achievement can be judged against consistent national standards.

It consists of nine learning areas:

Religious Education
English
Mathematics
Science
Humanities and Social Sciences
The Arts
Technologies
Health and Physical Education
Languages (Chinese is taught to children in Year 4/5/6)
