- Organised via the eight Key Learning Areas, providing a concise overview of the Student Outcome Statements and Levels (1-8) for the Strands and Substrands in each area. Each Learning Area section begins with a brief introduction to the area's outcomes and how they relate to the Curriculum Framework. Following this are tables that include level descriptors for each Strand.
