The Australian Curriculum achievement standards provide a fixed frame of reference and a shared language to use when describing student achievement. For each learning area or subject, the achievement standards are statements of what students should know and be able to do at the end of a year or a band of years.
In Queensland, all schooling sectors collaboratively decided that the achievement standard is the C standard (or equivalent) against which judgments are made on a five-point scale (commonly A–E).
