The Knowledge and understanding and Skills strands develop the following Civics and Citizenship concepts with increasing complexity across Years 3-6: Identity and diversity: Students understand the factors, including values and traditions, that shape personal and shared identity, and the diversity of Australia as a culturally diverse and multi-faith society. [...] • The understanding of the natural, managed and constructed features of places in Geography connects to an understanding of the form and function of materials in Science, and materials and technologies in Design and Technologies. [...] • The concept of identity and diversity in Civics and Citizenship connects to identity in Health and Physical Education, and to the exploration of diverse expressions of identity and culture through The Arts and Languages. [...] The curriculum includes the sub-strands of history and geography in Foundation Year to Year 2, and introduces the sub-strand of civics and citizenship in Year 3, and the sub-strand of economics and business in Year 5. [...] The key civics and citizenship concepts incorporated into the Australian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship in both versions 8.4 and 9.0, across primary and secondary levels, relate in broad terms to Australian democracy and government; laws and rules for citizens; and citizen participation, identity and the meaning of citizenship.
