Curriculum
Our School Curriculum has been based on the Victorian Learning Essential Learning Standards (VELS). This year will see the transition to a new Australian Curriculum in the areas of Mathematics, English, Science and History. During this transitional phase, in Victoria the new curriculum is being referred to as AusVELS – a combination of the Australian Curriculum and VELS. Please refer to the link below for further information.
