Community and Family Studies

In this episode, I'm joined by the amazing Nat Littler to unpack the brand new PDHPE syllabus for K-6 and 7-10. As a former syllabus writer, Nat brings a wealth of insight and expertise to help us navigate these changes. We'll dive into what's new, what's out, and share our top tips to help you feel confident and excited about implementing the updated curriculum. Whether you teach primary, high school, or the full K-12 spectrum, this episode has you covered! Grab a cuppa and let's get into it. Download bonus resources at thelearnnet.com/newpdhpe

Key Takeaways:

  • The new syllabus is much more streamlined and user-friendly, with fewer outcomes and more flexibility
  • The 5 propositions are now embedded throughout, rather than being a separate entity
  • There's a stronger focus on mental health, consent, and respectful relationships
  • Aquatics has been de-emphasised, giving you more freedom to tailor content to your school context
  • The common grade scale now provides clearer descriptors for student achievement
  • Don't throw everything out! Review your existing programs and see what can be adapted to the new syllabus
