What about the Kindergarten curriculum?

Kindergarten is not a compulsory year of schooling in Western Australia.

Planning for children in the Kindergarten year is supported by the Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines (the Guidelines).

The Guidelines are part of the Western Australian Curriculum and Assessment Outline and draw on the Australian Government’s Early Years Learning Framework (the Framework). They build on the following five learning development areas from the Framework.

IDENTITY – Children have a strong sense of identity.CONNECTING and CONTRIBUTING – Children are connected with and contribute to their world.WELLBEING – Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.LEARNING and THINKING – Children are confident and involved learners.COMMUNICATING – Children are effective communicators.
