## Primary sources checked for the narrow factual claims

- [Parliamentary Education Office: three levels of government](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/three-levels-of-government/), [Australian system of government](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/system-of-government/australian-system-of-government) and [Federation of Australia](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/history-of-parliament/federation/the-federation-of-australia): federal, state/territory and local roles, Federation on 1 January 1901, the first federal Parliament opening 9 May 1901, and the Constitution as a rule framework. Specific service responsibilities can overlap and need local official checking. The class-club analogy is original, not a quotation of law.
- [Parliamentary Education Office: Federation and First Nations peoples](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/your-questions-on-notice/questions/how-did-federation-affect-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-people): First Nations people were not involved in drafting the Constitution and most were not involved in the referendums/celebrations. This short pack flags the exclusion but does not substitute for a community-reviewed history unit.
- [Australian Electoral Commission: Federation voting fact sheet](https://www.aec.gov.au/About_AEC/Publications/Fact_Sheets/factsheet3.htm) and [electoral milestones for Indigenous Australians](https://www.aec.gov.au/indigenous/milestones.htm): the claim that Federation instantly gave every resident equal voting rights is false; rights changed over time, including the 1962 federal extension to all Indigenous Australians. Do not flatten the different legal positions of women, First Nations peoples and migrants into one timeline.
- [eSafety Commissioner: privacy and your child](https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/issues-and-advice/privacy-child) and [young people’s digital footprint](https://www.esafety.gov.au/young-people/digital-footprint): supports minimising personal information and asking a trusted adult for help. All digital cases are invented and no actual child information is collected.
- [ACARA: The Arts overview](https://v9.australiancurriculum.edu.au/curriculum-information/understand-this-learning-area/the-arts): confirms five Arts subjects and flexibility in primary implementation. Our original cue, signs, scenes and symbols are not examples of any named cultural tradition.

Science blocks use the ACARA Year 6 descriptions for habitat conditions, electrical circuits and reversible/irreversible changes. Seedling figures are explicitly fictional, rust images are teacher-created illustrations, and no actual site, historical observation or clinical conclusion is implied. The low-voltage circuit requires school-approved equipment; without it, the task remains a diagram/model. Geography Day 16 requires a teacher-provided approved atlas; none is copied into this pack.

## Original work, fonts and sharing

The daily menus, fictional source excerpts and numbers, fresh checks/keys, alternatives, diagrams, SVG masters, PDF print copies, text/tactile descriptions and synthesised eight-beat WAV are original SubjectNest work © NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd 2026 and offered under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

## Holds and honest claims

This is **ten optional 12-minute blocks per subject**, not the school’s full subject allocation, a complete Year 6 curriculum, state/territory syllabus compliance, a validated accessibility intervention, or a proven classroom outcome. Science/HASS records are official **Year 6** descriptions; HPE, Technologies and The Arts are **Years 5 and 6** band descriptions. Exact crosswalk links do not imply mastery. Movement, outdoor participation, circuit testing, physical making, media production/presentation, music and dance/drama performance, and visual-program implementation need actual observed action before being claimed. The source cases are fictional; no local Country/Place permission or community knowledge is inferred. First Nations stories/languages and any translation require appropriate community partnership, rights, consent and language review. Educators must check their school’s safeguarding, equipment, privacy and jurisdictional requirements.
