School Curriculum

 

Overview
At Donvale Primary School we are very proud of the caring, friendly environment that is our school. We also ensure that the learning process is supported by an active partnership between parents, students and teachers. Our school is situated in a safe and secure location with spacious grounds, large classrooms and excellent facilities. The school attracts students from a wide area because of its caring and friendly atmosphere.
Our school curriculum follows the Victorian Essential Learning Standards as required by DEECD. This is outlined below.

We work on a two year curriculum cycle except for Level 1 which is one year, in line with the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS).

The VELS is a 2-year curriculum document that is set out as follows:

Prep

Level 1

Years 1 & 2

Level 2

Years 3 & 4

Level 3

Years 5 & 6

Level 4

 

Every child is unique and has a range of skills, experiences and abilities. The  curriculum is adapted  and modified within the classroom to cater for individual student’s needs and abilities. This  is done through small group work, contract work and negotiated and differentiated curriculum.
