7–10Science 7–10 Syllabus (2023)
The new Science 7–10 Syllabus (2023) is to be implemented from 2026. The Science 7–10 Syllabus (2018) will not be available after December 2027.
2026 – Start teaching the new syllabus
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.
