This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 5 The Arts by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.

What Students Should Know

By the end of Year 6, students explain how media languages and media technologies are used in media arts works they construct and/or experience. They describe how media arts works created across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meanings. They describe how media arts can be used to continue and revitalise cultures.

Students use media languages, and media technologies and production processes to construct representations in media arts works for specific purposes and audiences. They present their work in informal and/or formal settings using responsible media practice.
