The Victorian Curriculum F–10 is the curriculum for Victorian schools. It incorporates the Australian Curriculum and reflects Victorian standards and priorities. The curriculum is accessed from the Victorian Curriculum F–10 website, whilst resources and supporting information is available here.
The Revised Curriculum Planning and Reporting Guidelines (pdf - 1,010.58kb) provide advice for Victorian schools on the effective use of the curriculum to develop whole-school teaching and learning plans and to report student learning achievement.
A range of resources have been developed to support the implementation of the Victorian Curriculum including information regarding curriculum planning and assessment, curriculum area-specific advice, and professional learning opportunities.
In addition to resources on this website and the Victorian Curriculum F–10 website, the VCAA also provides the
Curriculum Planning Resource portal, designed to support school leaders to plan and document a comprehensive whole-school curriculum.

Class Programs
Teaching teams work closely together to plan and deliver curriculum. Term planning; along with weekly level planning meetings enable teachers to meet the learning needs of all students. Teaching approaches, strategies and assessment are comprehensively planned to maximise student learning. Students work in class and mixed class groups, in small groups, pairs and individually.
Literacy and Numeracy at Eastwood
Literacy and numeracy are the foundation skills for learning and success throughout life. In today’s global environment, students engage in a wide range of literacy and numeracy practices both within and outside school. More than ever, students today encounter complex technologies and academic demands for which high levels of literacy and numeracy are essential. We need to support our students to develop these vital capabilities so they can participate as active members of society.
At Eastwood, we aim to develop the literacy and numeracy capabilities of all students so they can progress and succeed through all stages of learning and throughout their lives.
