City Cite - City immersion experience for secondary students

Victorian Curriculum

The Victorian Curriculum sets out what every student should learn during their years of schooling. The curriculum is the common set of skills required by students for life-long learning, social development and active, informed citizenship.


We see the program at City Cite as an opportunity for a student to demonstrate independence and agency in ways that they may not otherwise be able to at school. These capabilities and dispositions are difficult to ‘assess’ yet contribute to their overall growth and development.

In looking at the Victorian Curriculum, and in particular Personal and Social Capabilities, it is apparent that a city experience can help schools reinforce a multidisciplinary approach to student learning. Therefore, a focus on the following Capabilities or Learning Areas are major parts of programs at City Cite:

  • Personal and Social Capabilities
  • Civics and Citizenship
  • Critical and Creative Thinking
  • Intercultural Capabilities
  • Ethical Capabilities
  • Digital Technologies

See the linked documents for examples of Multidisciplinary Capabilities which are particularly relevant to off campus projects in the City and Learning Connections which can show schools where they can make specific links to particular study areas.
