📣 Registrations are now open for the Recognition of Learning Statement template!

Our CEO Andrew Smith encourages schools to register to receive the 2026 Recognition of Learning Statement template.

The Recognition of Learning Statement has been developed to formally acknowledge students who have meaningfully engaged in learning throughout their education, including during their senior secondary years, but for whom completion of the VCE or VPC is not achievable due to individual circumstances.

Available to eligible students from all Victorian schools, the Statement is issued to registered schools as an editable template, to be personalised by the school for their eligible students.

📆 Template registration closes on Friday 16 October.

It's , and we love any excuse to celebrate all things science and technology! 🔬

To celebrate, we caught up with Science Curriculum Manager Maria James, who has spent more than 20 years supporting the evolution of the F–10 Science curriculum. Maria shares why science education is more important than ever ⚛️

“One of the most rewarding aspects of science education is seeing students develop the confidence and skills to ask questions, investigate ideas that interest them and use evidence and logical thinking to reach well-supported conclusions. Today’s students are tomorrow’s scientists, innovators, informed citizens and decision makers. Science nurtures young people’s natural curiosity while equipping them with the knowledge and skills to ask meaningful questions, think critically and develop solutions to current and future challenges.”
