Australian Curriculum Lesson Planning

What is the Australian Curriculum?

The Australian Curriculum is the national curriculum for Foundation to Year 10, developed and maintained by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). Version 9 (v9), released in 2022, is the current iteration and introduces refined content descriptions, achievement standards, and elaborations across all learning areas.

The curriculum is structured around eight learning areas and incorporates seven general capabilities — including Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, and Digital Literacy — along with three cross-curriculum priorities: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Asia and Australia's Engagement with Asia, and Sustainability.

All Australian states and territories have agreed to implement the Australian Curriculum, though some (including NSW and Victoria) supplement it with state-specific syllabuses and frameworks.

How My Curriculum Mate aligns to the Australian Curriculum

My Curriculum Mate uses AI to generate lesson plans, worksheets, unit plans, and classroom resources directly mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9. Rather than producing generic content, the platform analyses the relevant content descriptions and achievement standards for your chosen year level and learning area, then builds resources around them.

• Lesson plans mapped directly to Australian Curriculum v9 content descriptions
• Resources aligned to the seven general capabilities (e.g. Critical and Creative Thinking, Literacy, Numeracy)
• Cross-curriculum priorities embedded where relevant (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Asia and Australias Engagement with Asia, Sustainability)
• Year level selection from Foundation to Year 10
• Export to Word or PDF for easy printing and sharing
