The cross-curriculum priorities make up one of the three dimensions of the Australian Curriculum. They support the Australian Curriculum to be a relevant, contemporary and engaging curriculum that reflects, regional, national and global contexts.

There are three cross-curriculum priorities in the F–10 Australian Curriculum:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures
  • Asia and Australia’s Engagement with Asia
  • Sustainability
     

Cross-curriculum priorities are incorporated through learning area content; they are not separate learning areas or subjects. They provide opportunities to enrich the content of the learning areas, where most appropriate and authentic to do so, allowing students to engage with and better understand their world.
