What your child learns: Foundation to Level 2
The Victorian Curriculum F-10 along with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) set out the basic knowledge and skills in English and Maths as well as basic physical and social capabilities, which form the basis for all future learning. Students are encouraged to express themselves and extend their thinking through the Arts. This ensures schools focus on the core priorities of learning for their youngest learners, i.e., literacy, numeracy, physical activity and health knowledge, engagement with the Arts, and developing the capacity to manage both themselves and their social relationships within school.
As children develop and learn there is a gradual shift in
emphasis from play based experiences to more structured learning. This involves an integration of
child-directed play and learning; guided play and learning; and adult led
learning. Varied activities and a vibrant classroom are important for your growing child. It is here that your child can continue to develop positive attitudes to learning, foster friendships and learn to work with others.

What you can do to help your child achieve progress at school
It is important to remember that each child is different; some will find parts of their learning program more challenging than others.
Make an appointment with your child's teacher/group leader if you have any questions about what your child is learning and how they are progressing.
