Victorian Curriculum F-10

Modified on Mon, 20 Apr at 12:13 AM

The Victorian Curriculum F-10 is the Victorian Government's response to the Australian Curriculum.  See: https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/reporting-student-achievement/resources

The Victorian Curriculum has three parts:

  • most students are covered by the Victorian Curriculum F-10
  • a small group of students with disabilities, whose learning progress precedes Foundation level of the curriculum and well outside the expected level of their peers, are covered by the Victorian Curriculum A-D
  • students learning whose first language is a language other than Standard Australian English are covered by Victorian Curriculum English as an Additional Language (EALVC).


In addition to the above the Victorian Curriculum F-10 also includes:

  • DNP: The score of ‘Did not participate’ or ‘DNP’ is used when students are not being assessed in a curriculum area/strand/mode for the reporting period.
  • PT: A ‘progressing towards’ or ‘PT’ score is available for students who have not yet reached the lowest level provided for the relevant curriculum area. 
    • PT should only be added to VC results continuum that do not include A, B, C, D.

The Victorian Curriculum F-10:

  • sets out what every Victorian school student should learn
  • incorporates the Australian Curriculum while reflecting the priorities and standards in Victoria, Australia; for example, while the Australian Curriculum is organised by year levels, the Victorian Curriculum F–10 design is structured by levels of learning.
