The current QCAA dedicated Prep Media Arts alignment supplies these exact Foundation rows. Queensland calls Foundation Prep. The QCAA Media Arts v9 page confirms the implementation context. Checked 2026-09-29. The ACARA Media Arts examples may inform teaching but are illustrative, not extra mandated outcomes.
| Code | Exact curriculum wording | This starter may support | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9AMAFE01 | explore how and why the arts are important for people and communities | Day 29 source-backed maker/purpose questions if an authorised real media work is available | Original shapes do not substitute for a real maker, community or authentic encounter. |
| AC9AMAFD01 | use play, imagination, arts knowledge, processes and/or skills to discover possibilities and develop ideas | Days 21–30 compare branch endings, choice labels, reveal timing and reader paths | Adult neutral movement can implement a child’s choice; do not credit an adult-selected branch as theirs. |
| AC9AMAFC01 | create arts works that communicate ideas | Days 26–28 child makes or directs an original assembled two-path paper work | A map alone is a plan; an assembled piece is paper media making, not camera/audio/editing work. |
| AC9AMAFP01 | share their arts works with audiences | Day 29 only if the child actually offers the assembled work to a willing person | Puppet rehearsal, a hypothetical reader or a plan to share are not actual-audience evidence. |
QCAA’s v8.4-to-v9 comparison PDF appears to print AC9ADA Dance prefixes in a Media Arts code column. We follow the dedicated Prep Media Arts alignment’s AC9AMA codes. No claim is made that ten sessions cover the whole achievement standard. Paper choices evidence branch planning; an assembled paper work supports limited physical media making; a reader’s actual choice and response require observation. A puppet-only rehearsal/pass is not actual audience contact. The real-work inquiry needs a school-selected, authorised work with maker statements and permissions recorded in the source slot.
