Curriculum

Glen Huntly Primary School implements its curriculum derived directly from the current Victorian Curriculum F-10 requirements, covering the Learning Areas of English, Mathematics, Humanities, Science, Technologies (Design and Technologies and Digital Technologies), Health and Wellbeing and Capabilities (Ethical, Intercultural, Critical and Creative Thinking and Personal and Social Capabilities), including the Learning Areas as specialist domains of Visual Arts, Physical Education, Music, Science and the LOTE area of Japanese, and as per Department’s School Hours.

The Victorian Curriculum provides a coherent and comprehensive set of prescribed content and common achievement standards, which Victorian schools use to plan student learning programs, assess student progress and report to parents.

Glen Huntly Primary School provides all students with a planned and structured curriculum to equip them with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to complete their schooling and to make a successful transition from school to work, training or further education.
