About the New Basics Curriculum Organisers

The New Basics refers to four clusters of practices that are essential for survival in the worlds in which students will live and work.

Each New Basics cluster is designed to help students answer a critical question:

Who am I and where am I going?
Life pathways and social futures
How do I make sense of and communicate with the world?
Multiliteracies and communications media
What are my rights and responsibilities in communities, cultures and economies?
Active citizenship
How do I describe, analyse and shape the world around me?
Environments and technologies
