I have never heard of netball being taught in schools as a subject. do you mean as just part of your PE curriculum? if so this is what i would teach.

* positions of the court, where they are allowed to go on the court, and basic function of each position.

*name of the lines on the court, sideline, transverse backline...ect

*basic rules.

*basic passes.

*defense - mid court and goal.

*footwork.

*spreading out

*running onto the ball.

*how to take a free pass on court and off court.

*center breaks.

This is both a good mix of theory and practical. you can get a copy of the current netball rules online, just look them up, and Sportplan have a heap of good drills you can do.

hope that helps.
