Student School Reports Semester 1, 2025
Dear Families
In anticipation of your receiving your child’s Semester 1 School Report, we wish to inform you of changes that have been made for this reporting period onwards.
Mathematics Curriculum 2.0
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) recently published its revised Mathematics curriculum (Mathematics Version 2.0).
All Victorian schools will start using Mathematics Version 2.0 in either 2024 or 2025. At St Andrew’s, we are using the revised Mathematics curriculum for student reporting from Semester 1, 2025.
In your child’s previous report, their teacher reported against the three strands of the achievement standard for Mathematics (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability). Under the Mathematics Version 2.0 curriculum, your child’s teacher will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score.
As the achievement standards we report on have changed, the first time you receive a report under the Mathematics Version 2.0 curriculum, it will only show achievement and not progress. For all reports after this, progress will be shown against the single achievement standard.
Accompanying your child’s Mathematics achievement score, you will find a table with each strand of Mathematics that was taught within the Semester (E.g. Number, Measurement, Statistics, etc.). This will provide you with an idea as to the achievement of your child in each strand. As the Number strand is taught for a higher percentage of the semester than other strands, teachers take this into account when providing the single aggregate score.
The VCAA made these changes to help teachers plan their teaching and learning programs in Mathematics, giving them more flexibility to support students to link ideas within Mathematics and also with other curriculum areas.
Behaviour and Effort Reporting
Your child will also receive marks for behaviour and effort within both general and specialist areas. These marks will be on a scale of 1-5, marked on the criteria below, which incorporates our PBL values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.

All this information and more will be included within your child’s report, which you will receive on Friday 27th June.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher or myself.
