The Authority’s work to adopt and adapt the Australian Curriculum version 9 within the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline (the Outline) aligns directly with the Strategic Plan.

This work is part of the Authority’s priority to develop Kindergarten to Year 12 curriculum and support resources and Pre-primary to Year 12 assessment and standards that allow all students to achieve to the full extent of their capabilities.

Through the adopting and adapting project, the Authority is, for Pre-primary to Year 10, meeting its commitment to:

• Provide syllabuses that articulate the knowledge, understanding, skills, values, attitudes and standards of achievement that students are expected to acquire from Pre-primary to Year 12.
• Review and revise Pre‑primary to Year 12 syllabuses, associated standards of achievement and support resources on a cyclical basis.
• Provide all students with access to curriculum and assessment that is appropriate to their needs, recognising individual students may need adjustments to allow them to demonstrate their learning.
• Engage with and respond to research reflecting changing economic, social and educational landscapes and needs as they emerge and impact on students.
