Curriculum and Standards Framework (CSF)
Years Prep to 10 page banner

The Curriculum and Standards Framework, published in February 2000, describes what students should know and be able to do in eight key areas of learning at regular intervals from the Preparatory year to Year 10. It provides sufficient detail for schools and the community to be clear about the major elements of the curriculum and the standards expected of successful learners.

The eight key learning areas are The Arts, English, Health and Physical Education, Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Mathematics, Science, Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) and Technology.
