Victorian Essential Learning Standards

The School Council oversees the curriculum at Paynesville Primary School. Currently our curriculum is based on the "Victorian Essential Learning Standards" (VELS).

The Victorian Essential Learning Standards describe what is essential for all students to achieve from Years Prep to 10 in Victorian schools. They describe what students should know and be able to do at different stages of learning. The table below outlines the areas covered from years Prep - 10. Different aspects of the domains are introduced at different levels over the continuum.

The Standards are developed within three core and interrelated strands. These outline the knowledge, skills and behaviours all students should acquire if they are to successfully manage themselves and their relations with others, understand the world and act effectively in that world.


  The three strands are: Physical, Personal and Social learning;
  Discipline-based Learning; and Interdisciplinary Learning.
