Phase 1: F (Pre-primary) -10 English, mathematics, science and history

Implementation starts in July 2012

Western Australian schools will start formal implementation of the new Australian Curriculum for Pre-primary to Year 10 in July this year. Schools will have three years to fully implement the Phase 1 subjects of English, mathematics, science and history.

ACARA recently finalised the full package of materials required for teaching and learning, including achievement standards, exemplified at the C grade, through annotated work samples.

Schools will have a range of implementation support, including professional learning, online learning resources, the websites of the three sector/systems (Government, Catholic and independent) and school-based support.

 The Curriculum Council will soon be replaced by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA). One of the priorities of the new Board will be to oversee development of an outline for curriculum and assessment in schools that will replace the Curriculum Framework covering schooling from Kindergarten to Year 10.
