Life Skills outcomes and content provide options for students with an intellectual disability or an imputed intellectual disability in Years 7–10 who cannot access stage1 or prior stage outcomes and content.
Life Skills outcomes and content can be accessed in all Years 7–10 syllabuses.
Principals must make decisions about accessing Life Skills outcomes and content:
1. based on the needs of the individual student, for each Years 7–10 course based on Life Skills outcomes and content, and
2. via collaborative curriculum planning, and
3. involving the individual student (where appropriate), their parents/carers, and their teachers.
Life Skills outcomes and content in Years 7–10 syllabuses are not appropriate options for students:
1. who do not have an intellectual disability or an imputed intellectual disability
2. experiencing significant unexpected and/or chronic health issues
3. performing below their cohort
4. who could access outcomes and content with appropriate adjustments and support
5. with emotional and/or behavioural needs.
A student accessing Life Skills outcomes and content cannot return to studying stage2 or prior stage outcomes and content in that particular course once a decision to access Life Skills has been made. Students accessing Life Skills outcomes and content must continue studying Life Skills outcomes and content in current and subsequent stages of schooling.
