History Key

The following codes and icons are used in the History K–10 Syllabus.

Outcome coding

Syllabus outcomes have been coded in a consistent way. The code identifies the subject, stage, outcome number and the way content is organised.
Early Stage 1 to Stage 5 are represented by the following codes:

Stage	Code
Early Stage 1	e
Stage 1	1
Stage 2	2
Stage 3	3
Stage 4	4
Stage 5	5

In the History syllabus, the outcome codes indicate the subject, stage and outcome number. For example:

Outcome code	Interpretation
HT2-1	History, Stage 2 - Outcome number 1
HT5-4	History, Stage 5 - Outcome number 4
HTLS-12	History, Life Skills - Outcome number 12

Coding of the Australian curriculum content

The syllabus includes all the Australian Curriculum content descriptions for History. The content descriptions are identified by an Australian Curriculum code which appears in brackets at the end of each content description, for example:
Differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time (ACHHK028).

Where a number of content descriptions are jointly represented, all description codes are included, eg (ACDSEH002, ACDSEH003, ACDSEH004).
The Australian Curriculum History codes are:

Code	Interpretation
ACHHK	Australian Curriculum, History, Historical Knowledge
ACHHS	Australian Curriculum, History, Historical Skills
ACDSEH	Australian Curriculum, Depth Study, Elective, History

Years 7–10 example identifying the depth study and elective:
