Victorian Curriculum

  • The Victorian Curriculum is a comprehensive framework that outlines the essential knowledge, skills, and capabilities that students need to develop across different learning areas, including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, The Arts, and Languages.
  • The curriculum is designed to provide a coherent and balanced education that supports student learning and development in different domains, including cognitive, social, emotional, and physical.
  • The curriculum is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant, responsive, and adaptable to changing educational and societal needs.
  • The Victorian Curriculum emphasises the importance of personalised and differentiated learning that takes into account the diversity of students’ backgrounds, interests, and learning styles.
  • The curriculum also recognises the critical role of digital technologies in contemporary education and promotes the development of students’ digital literacy skills and digital citizenship.
  • The Victorian Curriculum is supported by a range of resources, including teacher guides, assessment tools, and professional learning opportunities, to help schools and teachers implement effective curriculum programs.
  • At Mill Park Primary School, the implementation of the Victorian Curriculum is guided by our school’s curriculum plan, which outlines the scope and sequence of learning across different year levels and learning areas.
  • Our teachers use a range of teaching and learning strategies, including explicit instruction, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, and collaborative learning, to engage students in meaningful and relevant learning experiences that build on their prior knowledge and promote deep understanding.
  • Our school also uses a range of assessment approaches, including formative and summative assessment, to monitor student progress and provide feedback that informs teaching and learning.
  • We believe that the Victorian Curriculum provides a strong foundation for our students’ academic, social, and personal development and prepares them for success in their future educational and vocational pathways.
