School-based Curriculum

The school-based curriculum is designed as a teaching resource for high schools and consists of online modules hosted on a UNE licenced version of Open Learning.

  • Modules integrate Indigenous perspectives and content into existing subject areas.
  • Each module shows scope and sequences of learning that relate to the content and outcomes of NESA syllabuses.
  • Flexibility allowing modules to be adapted to meet the specific needs of a class, allowing for a personalised learning experience.
  • Offline Projects that extend the learning beyond the digital content.
