Reporting to Parents
A reporting system based on the VELS was introduced in Victoria in 2006. This is used by government, Catholic and some independent schools. The VCAA does not provide advice on reporting as each school sector has their own particular requirements.
The first point of call for all inquiries about student reports should be made direct to the school.
Government schools
The primary responsibility for developing reporting guidelines and format for government schools rests with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). Schools determine how best to include this information in reports to parents, which reflect the programs they deliver and the curriculum and reporting advice provided by the Department.

Independent schools
Inquiries about student reporting in independent schools should be made directly to the school. Independent schools determine their own student reporting requirements based on state and federal guidelines.
