The value of visual texts is acknowledged by the Australian Curriculum: English [henceforth ACE] (ACARA, 2015) with equal priority placed on visual knowledge with that of text, grammar and word knowledge. From Year Two (ACARA, 2015) students are required to 'identify visual representations of characters' actions, reactions, speech and thought processes in narratives' (ACELA1479). This move is reticulated in the New South Wales Board of Studies English K-10 Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum [henceforth English K-10 Syllabus] (BOSTES, 2012) with the required inclusion of visual texts in each year of schooling from Early Stage One (ENe-8B).
