Why the review of the courses and frameworks?

  • There is an ongoing cycle of review in all course areas and Frameworks.

  • Courses and Frameworks needed to be updated to align with Board endorsed policies, student needs and recent research.

  • The Review of BSSS Senior Secondary Curriculum (2015) recommended that frameworks reflect coherence and consistency in design, format and quality.

  • The Shape of the ACT Senior Secondary Curriculum (2016) provides guidelines and design specifications, based on ACARA course design, and relevant to ACT context.

  • The HOPE Framework will be redeveloped in 2024 and courses in 2025.

Context for Framework and Course Changes

  • Australian Curriculum courses (P-10) and Senior Secondary courses were adopted by the ACT government for use in ACT schools.

  • BSS Senior Secondary courses are aligned with Australian Curriculum courses P-10, and builds on the learning.

  • ACARA Senior Secondary courses haven’t been revised or written. The BSSS awaits review by ACARA before existing courses are revised.

  • A key difference from ACARA that affects our courses, is that units in courses do not have to be delivered sequentially, unlike the Australian Curriculum.

How do the parts go together?
