NESA Releases New K–6 CHPS Syllabuses

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is pleased to inform you that the new K–6 CHPS syllabuses have been released.

The syllabuses are available on the NSW Curriculum:

• Creative Arts K–6
• HSIE K–6
• PDHPE K–6
• Science and Technology K–6

The new syllabuses are required to be implemented in NSW schools starting in 2027. The recent consultation process with diocesan schools will inform the DLCS timeline for implementation.

Schools have access to support materials, including teaching advice on the NSW Curriculum, to assist with implementation. More resources will be made available over time, including accredited professional development on Science and Technology K–6.

NESA values your experience and expertise and the feedback you provided on behalf of your sector to inform the development of the final syllabus.

The engagement reports document the feedback received from consultation and the actions taken by NESA in response to feedback:

• Creative Arts K–6 Engagement Report
• HSIE K–6 Engagement Report
• PDHPE K–6 Engagement Report
• Science and Technology K–6 Engagement Report
