Our school has been offering a Performing Arts program. Can that program continue with the introduction of Victorian Curriculum?
Yes. The Victorian Curriculum is structured to give schools flexibility to deliver learning programs that meet the needs of their students and make best use of available resources.
The curriculum for each Arts discipline is structured around the same strands: Explore and Express; Arts Practice; Perform and Present and Respond and Interpret. This structure allows teachers to plan programs that draw on the performing Arts disciplines individually and/or in combination. A Performing Arts program might include separate components for each of Dance, Drama and/or Music or might involve students in creating and performing work that incorporates all three disciplines.
These curriculum mapping templates can be used to check links between a Performing Arts program and content descriptions and achievement standards for each of the performing Arts disciplines.
