Primary Connections: Linking science with literacy is the Australian Academy of Science's flagship primary school science program. It is an innovative approach to teaching and learning which aims to enhance primary school teachers' confidence and competence for teaching science.

STAV provides leadership, support, services, programs and resources for all levels of science education. STAV represents the collective voice of all teachers of science in all matters relating to the teaching of science in Victoria, and through ASTA (the Australian Science Teachers Association) it represents these teachers at a national level.

The Victorian Curriculum is managed by VCAA (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority). All Victorian government and Catholic schools are required to use the Victorian Curriculum F–10. Independent schools may use the Victorian Curriculum F–10 as a model and resource for the effective implementation of the Australian Curriculum.

The Australian Curriculum is managed by The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). Some independent schools in Victoria follow this curriculum in preference to the Victorian Curriculum.
