The R-12 curriculum is based upon the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability Framework (SACSA) and has the Essential Learnings of Thinking, Communication, Interdependence, Identity and Futures as integrating themes. (www.sacsa.sa.edu.au). “The SACSA Framework describes curriculum key ideas and outcomes upon which learners from birth to Year 12 can expect their education to be built.”

“The Framework is based upon constructivist theories of learning which view the learner as active in the process of taking in information and building knowledge and understanding; in other words of constructing their own learning.”

At Eastern Fleurieu School, an R-12 Thinking Curriculum underpins all curriculum areas.
