The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) is offering online briefings on the updated Kindergarten and Pre‑primary and the new Years 1 and 2 statements. These statements form part of the mandated Guiding Principles in the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline (the Outline).
The updated Kindergarten and Pre‑primary Statement and the new Years 1 and 2 Statement set out the expectations for high-quality, child‑centred early childhood education in Western Australia that build on each child’s funds of knowledge to foster learning, development and wellbeing. The statements support both the Outline and the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
The statements guide school leaders and educators to identify and explain early childhood in Kindergarten and Pre-primary and Years 1 and 2 contexts. They provide knowledge of pedagogy in the early years to support high-quality delivery of the Outline. The mandated statements are available at:
