Pre-primary to Year 10 English and Health and Physical Education are the first two learning areas to be reviewed to adopt and adapt the Australian Curriculum version 9 within the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline. Proposed curriculum changes for English and Health and Physical Education are now available for consultation.

Teachers and other stakeholders are invited to review the revised curriculum materials on the Authority’s website from 30 June 2023 to 4 August 2023:

Teachers and other stakeholders are invited to participate in an online consultation workshop to learn about the changes and the rationale for the construct and content of the consultation drafts https://scsa.wa.edu.au/events/english-and-health-and-physical-education-consultation-workshops

Teachers and other stakeholders are encouraged to complete the Authority’s consultation surveys to provide feedback on the revised materials for English and Health and Physical Education. The surveys are available with the consultation materials. Feedback may also be submitted directly to the Authority at WACAO@scsa.wa.edu.au

The Authority is aiming to have updated curriculum materials for English and Health and Physical Education approved for familiarisation in 2024 and implementation in 2025. For all other learning areas, teachers are reminded that the current Western Australian Curriculum is the mandated curriculum for Western Australia until advised otherwise.

For 2024, the only content that has been updated is the content for phonics and word knowledge in Pre-primary to Year 6 English, and consent in Pre-primary to Year 10 Health and Physical Education.
