$20 Boss - Mapped to the Australian Curriculum  

 

How it Works  

The $20 Boss program has been mapped to relevant Learning areas and General capabilities of the Australian Curriculum for years 7-10 of secondary school.  

It is hoped that this mapping document will guide assessment of student achievement during their participation in the program. While every effort has been made to map to the relevant Learning areas and General capabilities, professional discretion is advised- after all, you know your students best! 

The flexible nature of the $20 Boss program ensures that there are plenty of more general learning opportunities for students.  

Below is an additional list of the Australian Curriculum General capabilities that could be developed while participating in the $20 Boss program: 

- Numeracy 

- ICT Capability 

- Critical and Creative Thinking 

- Personal and Social Capability 

- Ethical Understanding  

- Intercultural Understanding
