  • Strands. These are the three core, interrelated strands of learning:
  • Physical, Personal and Social Learning.
  • Discipline-based Learning.
  • Inter-disciplinary Learning.
  • Domains. Within each strand of learning, the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours are organised into domains.
  • Dimensions. Divisions within each domain which have standards written for them.

Domains are linked using the Area sub-tab. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Area tab - Area sub-tab.
