Built for the meeting you actually have to run

Leave with decisions, not another reading list.

Designed around the real NSW changeover job: preserve useful work, show the evidence for each change, test whether the sequence fits, and give the stage team a review path.

Start from your current program

Inventory lessons, assessments, local resources, adjustments, and shared templates before anyone proposes a rewrite.

Separate evidence from suggestion

Log current official syllabus references and distinguish required changes from team choices or enrichment.

Make ownership visible

Route classroom, stage-team, and curriculum-leader decisions to the right person with a due date and review evidence.

Protect professional judgement

The workbook avoids compliance claims, requires current official references, and keeps teacher approval explicit.

Plan for the moment you're in

A useful next step at every stage of change.

2026 is the planning year. Use the workbook to make a calm, evidence-led plan before the new K-6 syllabuses are taught in 2027 - then return to the same decisions when your team begins implementation.

Now - Term 3, 2026

Identify the real changeover work

Choose one existing unit, identify its supporting resources and assessment, and nominate the people who can make a decision about it.

Turn decisions into a 2027 plan

Use the completed map to prioritise updates, protect good local work, plan moderation, and make staff responsibilities visible before the summer break.

Check the first implementation

Bring the workbook back to the first taught unit. Record what worked, what needs a lighter touch, and what should change before the next team review.

Questions teams ask

Practical answers before you start.

Which NSW K-6 syllabuses change in 2027?+

NSW lists Creative Arts K-6, HSIE K-6, PDHPE K-6, and Science and Technology K-6 as new from 2027. This workbook is deliberately program-first, so a stage team can use it for the area it is reviewing rather than start with a wholesale rewrite.

Do we need to replace every current unit?+

No. Start by recording the learning, assessments, local resources, and adjustments that already work. Then use current official syllabus references to decide what to keep, update, review, or retire. The final decision remains with your school and sector processes.

Who should complete it?+

Bring a stage leader or curriculum leader, teachers who know the program, and the person responsible for approval or implementation. The workbook is designed for one focused team session, followed by clear owners and a review date.
