General capabilities make up one of the three dimensions of the Australian Curriculum. They describe key understandings, skills and dispositions important for young Australians to live and work successfully now and in the future. The F–10 Australian Curriculum includes seven general capabilities:

  • Literacy
  • Numeracy
  • Critical and Creative Thinking
  • Digital Literacy (formerly Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability)
  • Personal and Social Capability
  • Ethical Understanding
  • Intercultural Understanding


The general capabilities are not stand-alone subjects but are taught through the learning area content in the Australian Curriculum. Not all general capabilities will be developed in every learning area. They are only included in learning area content where they can be developed in authentic and meaningful ways.

Through the delivery of our extensive subject offering across all learning areas, Tatachilla Lutheran College fosters the development of a common set of capabilities to ensure that all students, whatever their learning journey, are able to develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and understandings for success in the SACE and beyond.

 

 

 


Detailed descriptions and elaborations of each of the general capabilities and the way these capabilities may be developed, including learning continua, can be found in the Australian Curriculum website: www.australiancurriculum.edu.au
