Primary Curriculum
This section is a page that introduces the Primary Curriculum.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) sets the learning requirements for each stage of primary school. The four stages are:
Early Stage 1 (Kindergarten)
Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2)
Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4)
Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6).
In ” English ” and ” Mathematics ” your child will learn specific topics each year. In these two subjects there are certain ‘building blocks’ that must be learned before your child moves to the next level of understanding. The other subjects are more flexible and topics can be taught at any point within the two year stage.
The Board’s syllabuses state what must be taught in these Six key learning areas:
English
Mathematics
Science and Technology
History and Geography
Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)
