​CURRICULUM
Our Curriculum is developed in accordance with government guidelines, including the Victorian Curriculum.
Our Curriculum is organized into Learning Areas and Capabilities:








AusVELS
Australian Curriculum in Victoria (AusVELS) has been fully implemented at Lumen Christi. It provides an approach to curriculum from Foundation to Year 10 that is designed to engage students, build their confidence, offer varied approaches to learning and challenge them to achieve.

Children will continue to develop knowledge in the traditional subject areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages, Health and Physical Education and the Arts. AusVELS also links these traditional subject areas more closely to other important areas of learning such as the development of physical, personal and social skills and the ability to apply knowledge across a broad subject range.

Our Curriculum includes three interconnected areas of learning called strands: 
  • Physical, Personal and Social Learning
  • Discipline-based Learning
  • Interdisciplinary Learning
Domains are distinct bodies of knowledge, skills and behaviours within each strand.
Physical, Personal and
Social Learning
Discipline-based Learning Interdisciplinary Learning
Civics and Citizenship The Arts Communication
Health and Physical Education English Design, Creativity and Technology
Interpersonal Development The Humanities Information and Communications Technology
Personal Learning The Humanities - Economics Thinking Processes
  The Humanities - Geography  
  The Humanities - History  
  Languages  
  Mathematics  
  Science  
We know that happy children make fantastic learners. Our aim is to provide an environment that is conducive to making happy learners.

Forming positive relationships is the key to making happy children.  In our school setting it doesn’t take long for all children to get to know each other. Our “Buddy Program” brings children from different year levels together. In Buddy Groups, children work through social activities in order to establish positive and productive relationships.

Our new Foundation children will meet their buddy before they start school. This ensures they know a “big person” who will help take care of them in their first year.

Children who need special assistance are also taken care of to ensure they remain happy at school. If necessary they are provided with an aide to support them in their daily work.
