K–10English K–10 Syllabus
We want to hear about the quality texts students read in their study of English K−10.
Take part in a survey to share the texts you use for effective teaching and learning that target English K–10 Syllabus (2022) outcomes and content. Your feedback will help to inform future support material.
The survey is open from Monday 26 May to Friday 4 July 2025.
Implementation from 2024
The new English K–10 Syllabus (2022) is to be implemented from 2024 and replaces the English K–10 Syllabus (2012).
School sectors are responsible for implementing syllabuses and are best placed to provide schools with specific guidance and information on implementation given their understanding of their individual contexts.
