SACSA
Welcome to Catherine McAuley ~ Curriculum
South Australia Curriculum Standards and Assessment (SACSA) provides the framework around which our school's curriculum, consisting of nine key learning areas, is built.
• Religious Education
• English
• Mathematics
• Society and Environment
• Science
• Languages Other Than English (LOTE) - Italian
• Design and Technology
• Health and Physical Education
• The Arts
• Integrated Learning Areas
The SACSA framework is categorized into 5 Essential Learnings. These areas guide our teaching and learning and enable your child to develop the skills to engage with the changing times as thoughtful, responsive and committed local, national and global citizens.
• Futures
• Identity
• Interdependence
• Thinking
• Communication
