Year 1 HASS - Family Unit - Australian Curriculum

In this Year 1 HASS unit, students explore the differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have changed or remained the same over time. The unit is aligned to the Australian Curriculum Version 9, with a separate WA Curriculum planner included for Western Australian teachers.

This resource includes everything you expect from a full Mrs Amy123 unit - clear planning, engaging lessons, hands‑on learning, and all the resources needed to teach with confidence.

✨ Clear, Comprehensive Planning

The editable planner includes curriculum links, a resources‑needed column, and a simple, teacher‑friendly structure.
A WA Curriculum version of the planner is also provided.

• Learning intentions & success criteria

✨ Simple, Efficient Lessons

Each lesson follows a 5–6 step sequence, keeping preparation light and teaching focused. Clear instructions highlight the key learning points so you can focus on your students and maximise learning time.
