The School Curriculum and Standards Authority
The School Curriculum and Standards Authority is an independent statutory authority that regulates school curriculum and assessment for all Western Australian children from Kindergarten to Year 12. It is responsible for:
- setting standards of achievement, assessment and certification, for your children
- developing an outline of curriculum and assessment that sets out the knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes your children are expected to acquire
- developing guidelines for the assessment of achievement
- developing and accrediting courses for schools by setting and recording each person’s achievement against standards, and reporting on those standards.
