Stepping Stones Overview

addresses the 3 content strands and 4 proficiency strands as described in the draft Australian Curriculum (ACARA, April 2009)
provides a developmentally-appropriate teaching sequence for Year K, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.
increases expectations for student achievement from the first year of school (download expectations for Year K, Year 1 and Year 2)
provides differentiated instruction for each lesson and across school years.

Year K Note

States and territories refer to the year prior to Year 1 with different terms: K (Kindergarten), P (Preparatory), R (Reception) and T (Transition). For the draft Australian Curriculum, ACARA used "Kindergarten". This is reflected in our core program. ACARA have since decided to change this terminology to "Foundation Year". ORIGO will implement this change to online and print content as is appropriate to minimise any confusion to schools already using the program.
