The four stages of primary education are:

The school curriculum is divided into 6 key learning areas. Syllabus documents support each of these areas and determine what is taught in schools.

• English - Reading, Writing, Talking and Listening
  
• Mathematics - Number, Space and Geometry, Measurement and Data, Patterns and Algebra and Working Mathematically
  
• Science and Technology - Investigating Scientifically, Designing and Making, The Natural Environment, The Made Environment
  
• Creative and Practical Arts - Music, Visual Arts, Drama and Dance
  
• Human Society and its Environment - Change and Continuity, Cultures, Environments and Social Systems and Structures
  
• Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)- Healthy Choices, Self and Relationships and Fundamental Movement and Physical Activity

Connected Outcomes Groups (COGs):
This planning framework has taken the  learning outcomes, from Science and Technology, Creative and Practical Arts, Human Society and its Environment and PDHPE, and placed them in groups (Connected Outcomes Groups) to take advantage of connections that can be made because of similar content, processes or skills and to make connections between ideas to maximise students’ learning. Each connected outcomes group is designed to be taught over one term and where essential for learning, there is adequate repetition of outcomes.
