Use the Subject Assessment Other Definition Maintenance window:

  • to copy VELS definitions from one year to another.
  • create AusVELS definitions from existing VELS definitions.

The Subject Assessment Other Definition Maintenance window is structured into the following grid areas:

  • Strands. These are the three core, interrelated strands of learning:
  • Physical, Personal and Social Learning.
  • Discipline-based Learning.
  • Inter-disciplinary Learning.
  • Domains. Within each strand of learning, the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours are organised into domains.
  • Dimensions. Divisions within each domain which have standards written for each.

Codes are set by VELS and AusVELS and imported into Synergetic.
