// The curriculum document page was created to provide all the necessary documents needed for this particular unit. These documents assist in developing and ensuring that the unit being developed is going to be effective, suitable and provide valuable learning experiences for all students. Also, documents such as the Technology Essential Learnings and the ICT Cross Curriculum Priorities provide information on how and why ICTs should be implemented into all areas of teaching. //

Essential Learning Documents

There are 4 different Essential Learning documents. There are the EL for Years 3,5,7 and 9 which provide the relevant Knowledge and Understanding and Ways of Working and will assist in planning and developing learning experiences for the appropriate year levels. There is an Essential Learning document for all 4 junctions across all Key Learning areas. As this wiki is relevant to Year 5, I have added the link to the Year 5 Essential Learning Document for SOSE and Technology as these are the two relevant documents for this particular wiki.

Draft of National Curriculum

This is the Draft National Curriculum History document for K-12. This document will take the place of the Essential Learnings. The National Curriculum is being developed to help streamline what is being taught in different states and territories to help ensure that all students are receiving the same curriculum information. The First phase developed a National Curriculum for English, Maths, Science and History and the second phase has begun to develop a National Curriculum for Language, Geography and the Arts. Although this has not been implemented yet I have included it as a link to see the similarities and differences between the Essential Learnings and the National Curriculum.
