The QCAA dedicated Prep Media Arts v9 alignment gives these exact Foundation rows. Queensland calls Foundation Prep. Checked 2026-09-29. The QCAA Media Arts v9 page supplies jurisdictional context. ACARA’s Media Arts examples discuss media concepts and production stages as suggestions, not compulsory extra codes.
| Code | Exact curriculum wording | This starter may support | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9AMAFE01 | explore how and why the arts are important for people and communities | Day 49 maker/purpose question if a school-selected real media work is authorised and actually encountered | Invented geometric/audio examples are not authentic cultural or community media. |
| AC9AMAFD01 | use play, imagination, arts knowledge, processes and/or skills to discover possibilities and develop ideas | Days 41–50 choose one/two/quiet cues, align an original visual card, give an equivalent printed or tactile cue | A quiet paper response demonstrates planning, not hearing or producing sound. |
| AC9AMAFC01 | create arts works that communicate ideas | Days 46–48 child-made or child-directed original picture-and-cue paper card; optional actual gentle sound separately observed | Printed notation, live sound and a stored audio file are distinct forms of production. |
| AC9AMAFP01 | share their arts works with audiences | Day 49 only if an actual willing person sees/hears/receives the child’s work | Rehearsal/pass and a hypothetical listener do not count as actual audience sharing. |
The QCAA comparison PDF appears to print AC9ADA prefixes in one Media Arts column; the dedicated alignment uses AC9AMA, which governs this pack. Ten sessions do not cover the full achievement standard. Paper choices evidence cue planning; an actual optional sound must be heard/produced in the session to claim it occurred, and a viewer’s reaction must be asked, not guessed. A puppet-only rehearsal/pass does not establish an actual audience. Authentic source study needs a school-selected, authorised work and maker statement; otherwise keep it on hold.
