Communications to parents and carers regarding Mathematics and English Version 2.0 and student reporting 2025

Dear parents and carers,

Just a note to let you know about the changes to student reporting for mathematics and English in Victorian government schools in 2025.

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) recently published its revised mathematics curriculum (Mathematics and English curriculum 2.0). 

All Victorian government schools will start using the Mathematics curriculum 2.0 in 2025. At   Kingswood Primary we have also decided to use the revised English curriculum for school reporting from 2025.

On your child's Semester 2 2024 report, the teacher reported against the 3 strands of the achievement standard for mathematics (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability). In 2025, under the Mathematics curriculum 2.0, your child’s teacher will report against the achievement standard as a whole, providing a single, aggregated score. 

As the achievement standards reported on have changed, the first time you receive a report under the Mathematics 2.0 curriculum, it will only show achievement and not progress in First Semester. For all reports after this, progress will be shown against the single achievement standard. 

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. 

For further information, refer to the department’s policy on Reporting Student Achievement and Progress Foundation to 10.
