Leadership and Management
Semester Two Student Reports - Learning Areas and Capabilities
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 (Foundation to Year 10) includes both knowledge and skills. These are defined by learning areas and capabilities. The learning areas include:
The Arts
- Dance
- Drama
- Media Arts
- Music
- Visual Arts
- Visual Communication Design
English
Health and Physical Education
The Humanities
- Civics and Citizenship
- Economics and Business
- Geography
- History
Languages
Mathematics
Science
Technologies
- Design and Technologies
- Digital Technologies
The four capabilities in the Victorian Curriculum F–10 are:
- Critical and Creative Thinking
- Ethical
- Intercultural
- Personal and Social
This curriculum design assumes that knowledge and skills are transferrable across the curriculum. It is expected that the skills and knowledge defined in the capabilities will be developed, practised, deployed and demonstrated by students in and through their learning across the curriculum.
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 includes capabilities, which are a set of discrete knowledge and skills that can and should be taught explicitly in and through the learning areas, but are not fully defined by any of the learning areas or disciplines. In other words, the capabilities are not separately taught lessons.
In Semester Two, the capabilities have been assessed in relation to the STEAM units for The Arts and Health.

Year 5 Leadership - Speak With Power
This term the Year 5 students have been participating in 'Speak With Power' with Ron Thomas. The course aims to prepare students for public speaking opportunities. The students were taught how to structure speeches, how to generate ideas, introductions, conclusions and sign posting. They delivered impromptu speeches, giving feedback and suggesting improvement to their peers. They were given strategies to use when dealing with stress linked to public speaking.
On Wednesday 15th November, the Year 5s presented their final speeches to an audience, made up of Year 5 students, teachers and parents. Congratulations to all the students for this great achievement, and for the exceptional organisation and delivery of their speech presentations.
