Australian Curriculum
Australian Curriculum is the primary reference for teaching and learning programmes developed at Mudgeeraba Creek. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) is responsible for the development of the Australian Curriculum from Prep (called ‘Foundation’ in the Australian Curriculum) to Year 10.
Parents and carers can access an Overview for parents to learn about how the Australian Curriculum is organised, including
information about the learning areas, general capabilities and cross-curriculum
priorities.
ACARA’s work in developing the Australian Curriculum is guided by the 2008 Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians. The Melbourne Declaration commits "to supporting all young Australians to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens", and to promoting equity and excellence in education. The Australian curriculum will "equip all young Australians with the essential skills, knowledge and capabilities to thrive and compete in a globalised world and information rich workplaces of the current century." The national curriculum will be accessible to all young Australians, regardless of their social or economic background or the school they attend.
ACARA works collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders including teachers, principals, government, state and territory education authorities, professional education associations, business/industry, community groups and the broader public.
