General Curriculum Framework
Nurturing Excellence in Education and Faith
The
NSW Curriculum
is structured and sequenced to support progression in the syllabus from
Primary
to
Secondary
. The NSW Curriculum articulates what students are expected to know, understand and be able to do. It is explicit about the knowledge and skills to be learnt. In each learning area, background knowledge, committed to long-term memory, is vital to literacy development and underpins the ability to think critically and creatively. Each subject also includes specific skills, tools, methods, processes and strategies that students develop as they achieve an outcome. The curriculum also plays a key role in identifying the shared knowledge that fosters belonging and cross-cultural understanding in our society.
A positive start to school will help your child engage well with their peers and teachers and set them up for academic and social success.
