Structure of the curriculum

• An organisation overview that details how the curriculum in the learning area will be organised
• Content descriptions that specify what teachers are expected to teach
• Achievement standards that describe the quality of learning typically expected of students
• General capabilities that describe a set of skills, behaviours and dispositions that apply across subject-based content
• Cross-curriculum priorities that ensure the Victorian Curriculum is relevant to the lives of students and addresses the contemporary issues they face.
