Teaching and Learning

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) recently published its revised mathematics curriculum (2.0). At Gardenvale Primary School we have started using the revised mathematics curriculum within the classroom for school reporting from Semester 1, 2025.

In previous reports, teachers reported against the 3 strands of the achievement standard for Mathematics (Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability). Under the Mathematics curriculum 2.0, teachers 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. For all reports after this, progress will be shown against the single achievement standard.

In this report for your child you will find the following sections:

A 5-point scale will now be used to focus on key learning goals that outline student learning progress according to the Victorian Curriculum Standards. To help you understand this 5-point scale, please refer to the associated definitions below:

Please see below a Year 1example report showing the curriculum areas covered this semester and student progress. 

If you require additional information about your child, their learning or the new reporting format, feel free to contact us. 

Have a lovely week,
