Curriculum Resources
A suite of curriculum resources providing opportunities and resources for students to continue their learning while not being able to access a school have been developed by The Department of Education.
These materials are designed as a support tool for students to engage in familiar activities essential to their learning and wellbeing. The included tasks and activities allow students to work at their own pace from home.
These materials include many activities, lessons and learning objects that address elements of the Australian Curriculum.

Students require their school login details to access this resource. This is available for students in PREP to Year 6.
Students may require adult support to read and understand instructions and write responses. Detailed lesson instructions, helpful information, teaching tips and answers are provided.
The lessons for Years 4–6 are independent student materials written for a child to work through independently although students may require support at times. They contain a complete set of student resources, teaching episodes and learning objects.
