Curriculum Connections
Teachers can start by exploring how the Premier’s Coding Challenge aligns with the Australian Curriculum v9.0—Digital Technologies. This document helps support planning, lesson design, and assessment linked directly to the Challenge.
The
online safety curriculum connection is another valuable guide, helping teachers connect classroom learning with real world online safety issues.
Online Safety Resources
A range of high quality online safety materials are available to support student learning:
-
The eSafety Commissioner provides resources on privacy, security and managing your digital footprint, with materials tailored specifically for both primary and secondary students.

Grok Academy offers courses and learning activities aligned to online safety and digital technologies, suitable for both teachers and students.
Coding Support
Digital Technologies—an introduction to coding@home TV, available on the department's YouTube channel, will also be a helpful resource for teachers.
For both students and teachers, the
coding@homeTV episodes will help guide you through the steps to create an entry.
