History Foundation to year 12 (in Review of the Australian Curriculum - Supplementary Material)

The Australian history curriculum is compulsory for Years Foundation through to Year 10. It states that its rationale is as follows: ‘The curriculum generally takes a world history approach within which the history of Australia is taught.’ The curriculum is also defined, and limited, by its three cross-curriculum priorities: * Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures * Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia * Sustainability.
