The Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages has been working with  Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD)   and The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) on a the introduction of local Aboriginal languages into Victorian Schools.

The (DEECD) recently released a 3 year strategy for Language education which now includes Victoria's  Aboriginal languages.

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) released the Prep - Year 10 Protocols & Standards for the teaching of Aboriginal language & culture into schools. The document was written by Lynnette Solomon-Dent and Dr Christina Eira.

Healesville Secondary School has been selected to pilot the Language program. The pilot program is teaching Woiwurrung language to year 7  students.

VACL is most pleased at the progress being made within the Victorian  Education sector.

VACL manager Paul Paton commented "it has been a  long process to get this far and there is still a lot more work to be done.

Having Our Languages taught in schools will be a great  accomplishment, it will help make our education system richer for all  students."
