Australian Curriculum version 9

Fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum

Every lesson maps to a content description in the national curriculum. Progress is tracked against achievement standards, Foundation to Year 6.

How this works in your state

Rise Bright is built on the Australian Curriculum version 9, the national curriculum. Queensland, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT teach it as published, so our content matches what your child learns. Victoria and New South Wales run their own curriculum and we map their codes. Western Australia and South Australia have adapted the national curriculum into their own, and code mapping for both is planned. No generic content here.

Year levels Foundation to Year 6

Rise Bright covers the entire primary school journey, adapting to each child's individual level within their year.

Foundation Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6

Our adaptive learning means children work at their actual ability level, not just their school year. A Year 3 student struggling with Year 2 concepts gets support where they need it. A Year 3 student ready for Year 4 concepts gets appropriately challenging content.

How curriculum mapping works

Every Rise Bright lesson is tagged with specific Australian Curriculum (Version 9) content descriptors. Victorian Curriculum codes are mapped today; other state-specific code translations (including NSW) are rolling out through 2026.

Example: Year 2 Addition & Subtraction

National
AC9M2N04
Add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, representing problems using number sentences
Victoria
VCMNA107
Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using efficient mental and written strategies
New South Wales
MA1-CSQ-01
Combining and separating quantities in the NSW Syllabus (2022) (rolling out 2026)
QLD / SA / WA / TAS / NT / ACT
AC9M2N04
Uses national Australian Curriculum codes

This means your child's progress reports reference the exact same codes their teacher uses. It's easy to see what they're learning and how it aligns with school.

Designed for neurodivergent learners

Rise Bright isn't just curriculum-aligned; it's specifically designed to help neurodivergent children succeed with that curriculum.

Children with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia get the same curriculum content as everyone else, but delivered in ways that work for how they learn: shorter sessions, immediate feedback, visual supports, sensory options, and adaptive pacing.

The goal isn't different learning; it's the same curriculum standards achieved through better-suited methods.
