Your feedback is now invited on the proposed revisions to the Australian Curriculum. Primary perspectives are vital for the consultation process. All primary-related feedback is submitted through learning area, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities surveys. To be supported in the process, it is important for primary teachers to view the learning area, general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities pages to understand what has changed and why. Primary scope and sequence documents can be accessed through the Primary curriculum view link. These documents have been created to show the primary curriculum by levels rather than learning areas. There is one document for each year or band of the primary curriculum. A document explaining what has changed and why in Primary has also been created to support you to understand the proposed revisions.
What is changing in Primary and why?
Information on the proposed revisions to the Foundation to Year 6 (F–6) Australian Curriculum can be found in the what has changed and why? document on the consultation website. Primary scope and sequence documents can also be found through the Primary curriculum view page.
Where can I find more information on completing the survey?
A consultation survey information sheet is accessible through the website. This will help you understand how you can start, stop and save your survey responses.
How can I submit feedback for a particular year level or band of years?
If you wish to submit responses specific to a year or band, select the learning area or learning areas you wish to provide feedback for and complete the survey. This ensures that primary-specific feedback is captured through learning areas. Section 3 of the survey allows you to provide feedback on a specific year or band level. Download a copy of the survey questions to find out more.
How can I provide detailed feedback?
If you want to give very detailed feedback or you are working as a group to prepare your responses, it would be best to download the survey questions document and record your responses in this document before cutting and pasting into the online survey. This approach would also allow you to keep a record of your responses.
