 * [[image:shield.jpg width="274" height="331"]] || All students in years 7-8 participate in the core curriculum areas. In years 9-10, students may choose to incorporate elective subjects to focus their individual learning for pathways into the post-compulsory years. Each student will develop their own learning plan in co-operation with their teachers. The learning plan aims to recognise and acknowledge each student as an individual with unique learning needs. As students progress from the middle years into the post-compulsory years, students are given more flexibility to tailor their learning plans to their own individual learning needs and interest to enable a smoother transition into post-compulsory pathways. ||

= VELS at Aim High = Teaching and learning in Years 7-10 will incorporate the three strands outlined in the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. Students will engage in discipline based learning, physical, personal and social learning and interdisciplinary learning. Teachers are assisted to incorporate multi-disciplinary learning into their teaching in each domain to enable greater opportunity for deeper learning, while students are supported to integrate learning as a complex and rewarding activity grounded in their everyday experiences. Community meetings occur each day in small class groups with the same teacher as the community leader. This enables students to build on activities in the curriculum, discuss and fine tune their learning plans and generally plan for and engage in participation in the Aim High community.

Parents are kept informed about their child's progress at various times throughout the year. Parents and students are given regular feedback through assessment from the school throughout the year and will receive written reports on student progress twice yearly. Parents are encouraged to participate in the life of the school through contributions to co-curricular and everyday learning activities: we believe the knowledge and skill base of our parent community is a fantastic resource to incorporate into the teaching and learning activities of the school.
