The Australian Curriculum is designed to prepare young people for the future world in which they will learn, and prepares them to respond to the challenges that will continue to shape their world. It sets out the priorities and aspirations we hold for all our young people. The curriculum represents what the Australian community values as the knowledge, understanding and skills that young people should attain.

Students are more likely to be successful when their parents are engaged in their education. A wide range of research has shown that when parents are truly engaged, children:

  • attend school more regularly

  • are better behaved

  • have better academic outcomes

  • have a greater sense of how to be successful in school

  • are more likely to graduate and go on to post-secondary education

Parents and carers can support their child's education by familiarising themselves with the Australian Curriculum, to understand what their child will be learning at each stage of their schooling.
