  6. Implementation • NSW has made no commitment to implementation of the Australian Curriculum for arts subjects. • The Board of Studies will follow its regular cycle of curriculum evaluation and review which will identify priorities for curriculum renewal. When a current syllabus or learning area is identified for renewal the Board will take the opportunity to incorporate Australian curriculum content. • In all cases, all schools are required to implement current approved NSW Syllabuses until otherwise advised by the Board.

  7. Organisation of the Australian Curriculum The Australian Curriculum: The Arts • is being developed for F-10 • is described in bands of year levels not Stages • has content descriptions not outcomes • has content elaborations not ‘learn to’ and ‘learn about’.
