Primary Curriculum Network

Collaborate. Innovate. Elevate.


Meet Sarah: A K-6 Curriculum Leader

Sarah, a curriculum leader in a remote NSW Independent School, is feeling the strain of the NSW curriculum reform. She spends hours not only developing and reviewing documents and planning, but also supporting her team of teachers who are also feeling the pressure. Managing change, ensuring quality and avoiding burnout seem like an uphill battle.

Then, Sarah discovers the AISNSW Primary Curriculum Network. Here, she finds a community of leaders facing similar challenges. Through each session, she gains practical advice, shares resources and learns strategies to support her team. With the support of the Primary Curriculum Network, Sarah feels a renewed sense of direction—she knows she’s not alone.
