New K–6 Syllabus Rollout

We’re pleased to inform you that the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) has released updated K–6 syllabus documents for HSIE (History and Geography), PDHPE, Creative Arts, and Science and Technology. These new syllabuses are designed to reflect current educational research and promote deeper thinking, real-world learning, and stronger foundations in each subject area. 

At St Joseph’s, we will begin implementing the new HSIE and PDHPE syllabuses in 2026, followed by Creative Arts and Science and Technology in 2027. Throughout Semester 2, our staff will be engaging in professional learning and planning sessions to prepare for these changes and ensure a smooth transition that supports high-quality teaching and learning for all students.
