What subjects do schools offer?
The Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) 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. Schools decide how best to structure subjects but may continue to organise curriculum around existing subject selections. Some examples of how schools might approach curriculum planning are provided below. Schools take account of any guidelines or policies that are in place for specific curriculum requirements, for example, government schools are required to deliver a specified amount of physical education and/or sport from Prep to Year 10.
