Victorian Essential Learning

Standards

The Year 9 curriculum is organised around the strands and domains of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. The Essential Learning Standards are a framework based on three strands.

 

These strands are:

  • Physical, Personal and Social Learning
  • Discipline-based Learning
  • Interdisciplinary Learning
 

The Essential Learning Standards require an interwoven approach to curriculum across the three strands and their learning domains. All the strands and domains include knowledge, skills and behaviours, and are essential to student learning.

 

Students are strongly encouraged to include a wide range of subjects which cover the strands and domains of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. (click here for more information on VELS strands and domains)

Students who have lived in Australia for five years or less and speak English as a Second Language must choose ESL as an elective in both semesters.
