Learning

Our curriculum framework at Spensley Street provides space for learners to explore, analyse and engage with their environment and the world around them and, in the process, strengthen the knowledge and skills that will enable them to understand and deal with complex issues that affect the environment and society now and into the future. It provides a holistic picture and lens to help frame, organise and integrate the Victorian Curriculum to ensure that students are provided with breadth and depth across all areas of the curriculum.

Finding out what students know and understand is a fundamental part of effective teaching and learning in every classroom. Assessment is how teachers gather information about each student’s learning so that they can identify what students know, understand and can do. They use this information to plan future teaching and to improve their students’ learning. Assessing students’ learning allows teachers to give feedback to their students and report on student progress to parents and carers.
