These outcomes apply across all learning areas and are the responsibility of all teachers. The outcomes for each learning area contribute to the achievement of the Overarching learning outcomes, and each learning area statement includes a description of the links between the learning area outcomes and the overarching learning outcomes. The statement of each outcome is accompanied by a more detailed description of that outcome. Each description includes a number of examples of the ways in which students might demonstrate progress towards the outcome at different stages in their schooling from kindergarten to year 12. Students use language to understand, develop and communicate ideas and information and interact with others.
Students select, integrate and apply numerical and spatial concepts and techniques.
Students recognise when and what information is needed, locate and obtain it from a range of sources and evaluate, use and share it with others. Students select, use and adapt technologies. Students describe and reason about patterns, structures and relationships in order to understand, interpret, justify and make predictions. Students visualise consequences, think laterally, recognise opportunity and potential and are prepared to test options. Students understand and appreciate the physical, biological and technological world and have the knowledge and skills to make decisions in relation to it.
