The Australian Curriculum sets out the core knowledge,
understanding, skills and general capabilities important for all Australian students. The Australian Curriculum describes
the learning entitlement of students as a foundation for their future learning, growth and active participation in the Australian
community. It makes clear what all young Australians should learn as they progress through schooling. It is the foundation
for high quality teaching to meet the needs of all Australian students.

K-10 Syllabus
The K-10 Syllabuses are advisory materials.
The syllabuses detail content at each year of schooling and phase of development from kindergarten to year 10. Syllabuses
are provided for Early Childhood (K-3), Middle Childhood (4-7) and each learning area in Early Adolescence (8-10).
When using these advisory materials, teachers will continue to make professional judgements about when to introduce content
based on students' prior learning and achievement.
