The Australian Curriculum V9 is the national standard for what students should learn across Australia, regardless of their background or location. Version 9.0, introduced in 2023, is a streamlined curriculum with 21% less content, allowing teachers to focus on depth over breadth and ensuring students master essential skills in literacy and numeracy.
The curriculum is reviewed every 6 years to ensure it remains relevant and effective. Version 9.0 refines and declutters content so teachers can teach with greater depth and rigor, strengthens foundational skills in maths and literacy, and better aligns what students learn with what they're assessed on—making learning more focused and effective.
The Australian Curriculum is three-dimensional, combining Learning Areas (8 subjects like English and Maths), General Capabilities (skills like literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking), and Cross-Curriculum Priorities (important contexts like sustainability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories). Together, these dimensions prepare students for life and work.
Version 9.0 focuses on essential knowledge and skills, removing unnecessary repetition so your child can learn concepts more deeply. In maths, for example, students master foundational facts and skills at the right developmental stage, and the curriculum clearly indicates which calculations should be done without a calculator—building stronger number sense and confidence.
