Australian Curriculum
The Australian Curriculum provides a nationally consistent framework for what students learn from Foundation (Prep) to Year 12 across
all states and territories, while still allowing for state-based adjustments. It ensures high-quality,
equitable education for all Australian students.
Australian Curriculum – Key Learning Areas
The curriculum is organised into 8 learning areas:
English
Mathematics
Science
Humanities & Social Science
Arts
Technology
Health & Physical Education
Languages
In Years 11–12, students also follow state/territory-specific senior secondary syllabuses, often leading to ATAR or vocational pathways.

| Digital Technologies | Covered in Technologies learning area | Expanded focus on digital literacy & safe online behaviours |
