How these resources align to the NSW curriculum

New South Wales runs its own syllabus through NESA, so NSW editions on EduSellers are written against it rather than being a relabelled national file.

The Australian Curriculum: The Arts covers five distinct subjects — Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts — each structured around exploring, developing practices, creating and presenting, and responding.
