Educators and staff work in partnership with families and communities to nurture, develop and empower all South Australian children and young people with the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to become fulfilled individuals, active, compassionate citizens and lifelong learners
Learning
The Australian School Curriculum has been designed to promote successful learning. It aims to nurture confident and creative individuals who develop into active and informed citizens.
The Australian Curriculum incorporates eight areas of academic learning:
English
Mathematics
Science
Health and Physical Education
Humanities and Social Sciences
The Arts
Technologies and Languages
Academic subjects within the curriculum are rounded out by seven general capabilities:
Literacy
Numeracy
Information and Communication Technology Capability
Critical and Creative Thinking
Personal and Social Capability
Ethical Understanding
Intercultural Understanding
These general capabilities provide interconnected knowledge, skills, and behaviours that can be applied across any subject-based content. This equips students with the ability to become confident, lifelong learners in a complex, information-rich, globalised world.
