Bulleen Heights School offers a curriculum which develops knowledge, skills and behaviours to build a foundation for future learning and life goals for each student. Curriculum at Bulleen Heights School is designed within the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) which provides a student learning continuum and guides the development of programmes across the school departments.
The Certificate 1 in Transition Education is available to senior students and is designed to prepare students for making choices about further learning options and work. This program includes a set of core subjects and a range of electives which are selected to support the students’ personal interests and goals.
The planning and implementation of curriculum goals and targets for the school is developed in consultation with the school community and documented in the school strategic plan and annual implementation plan. The teaching staff of each department collaboratively prepare integrated units of work across the VELS domains.
All parents and carers are invited to participate in program support group meetings each semester to prepare an individual learning plan for each child.
