All our Teaching and learning content is governed by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) and the authority is responsible for Kindergarten to Year 12 curriculum, assessment, standards and reporting for all Western Australian schools.

The Authority's role is to:

• set out the mandated curriculum that shows teachers what they are expected to teach.
• provide guiding principles for teaching, learning and assessment that promote equity and excellence in Western Australian schools
• support teachers in their assessment of student progress and reporting of student achievement.

The Guiding Principles provided by the Authority set the scene for learning that meets the educational needs of our children. Students develop the Western Australian Values of Schooling through the programs they undertake in Western Australian schools. The Authority’s Principles of Teaching, Learning and Assessment focus on class and school environments.
