How to use the framework links
My Time, Our Place outcomes are broad and observable. An activity title does not prove that an outcome occurred. Begin with the children, young people and context; notice what actually happened; then use the framework to interpret the learning, wellbeing, participation and educator practice that may be visible.
The five learning outcomes
- Outcome 1: children and young people have a strong sense of identity.

The guide connections are planning prompts only. They do not claim compliance, guarantee learning or replace your service philosophy, observations, critical reflection, risk assessment or local procedures.
