Curriculum
At Queen of Peace Parish Primary School we use the Victorian Curriculum. The Victorian Curriculum F-10 reflects much of the Australian Curriculum F-10, but differs to reflect the lives of Victorian students.
English
Understand how texts vary in purpose, structure and topic as well as the degree of formality (VCELA309)
