Not all states and territories use the same terms to describe the broad learning areas, but the terms they do use are similar.
In Victoria, Primary Schools are guided by the Board of Studies, Curriculum and Standards Framework (C & S F II) documents in the eight key learning areas. Course Advice Statements and materials are also provided to support the C & S F II documents.
