Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS)
The Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) outline what is important for all Victorian students to learn and develop during their time at school from Prep to Year 10. They provide a clear set of common state-wide standards which schools use to plan student learning programs, assess student progress and report to parents.
The standards, detailed information about the VELS as well as a range of support materials to assist in using the VELS to plan effective teaching, learning and assessment programs can be found on the VELS website.
