Students become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to
interpret and use language confidently for learning and communicating in and out of
school and for participating effectively in society. Literacy involves students in listening
to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating oral, print, visual and digital texts,
and using and modifying language for different purposes in a range of contexts.
Students use numeracy skills when interpreting, analysing and creating texts involving
quantitative and spatial information such as percentages and statistics, numbers,
measurements and directions.
Students develop ICT capability as they learn to use ICT effectively and appropriately to
access, create and communicate information and ideas, solve problems and work
collaboratively in all learning areas at school, and in their lives beyond school.
Critical &
Creative
Thinking
Critical and creative thinking are integral to activities that require students to think
broadly and deeply using skills, behaviours and dispositions such as reason, logic,
resourcefulness, imagination and innovation in all learning areas at school and in their
lives beyond school.
Ethical
Behaviour
The personal and social capability involves students in a range of practices including
recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for and understanding of
others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working
effectively in teams and handling challenging situations constructively.

Social

Understand
ing
Ethical behaviour involves students in building a strong personal and socially oriented
ethical outlook that helps them to manage context, conflict and uncertainty, and to
develop an awareness of the influence that their values and behaviour have on others.
Students develop intercultural understanding as they learn to value their own cultures,
languages and beliefs, and those of others. They come to understand how personal,
group and national identities are shaped, and the variable and changing nature of
culture.
Cross-Curriculum Priority
All students will develop an awareness and
appreciation of, and respect for the literature of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
including storytelling traditions (oral narrative) as
well as contemporary literature. Students will be
taught to develop respectful critical
understandings of the social, historical and
cultural contexts associated with different uses of
language and textual features.
Achievement Standards
Receptive modes (listening, reading and viewing): By
the end of the Foundation year, students use predicting and
questioning strategies to make meaning from texts. They
recall one or two events from texts with familiar topics. They
understand that there are different types of texts and that
these can have similar characteristics. They identify
connections between texts and their personal experience.
They read short, predictable texts with familiar vocabulary
and supportive images, drawing on their developing
knowledge of concepts about print and sound and letters.
They identify the letters of the English alphabet and use the
sounds represented by most letters. They listen to and use
appropriate language features to respond to others in a
familiar environment. They listen for rhyme, letter patterns
and sounds in words.
Productive modes (speaking, writing and creating):
Students understand that their texts can reflect their own
