Global perspectives and diversity

The ten Big Ideas that head up the curriculum provide schools with clear intent and outcomes for children’s learning. These global concepts, including humanity, creativity, place and space, comparison and significance, run throughout the whole curriculum and provide purpose and endpoints for the curriculum.
