Students at Croydon Community School participate in a program which includes Advisory, compulsory and elective studies. This curriculum program has been designed to meet the individual needs of our students and takes into consideration their individual abilities.
The program offers a breadth of study across three major strands of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS): Disciplinary Learning; Interdisciplinary Learning; and Physical, Personal and Social Learning, whilst allowing students to specialise in areas of interest and passion.
