2.0: VCE Important Information

We welcome you to our VCE and VCE VM programs for 2026. This handbook has been designed to provide both parents/guardians and students with all the necessary information about the programs and opportunities that the school has to offer.

One of the key aims at VCE is the provision of effective and successful pathways. This will mean continuing development of literacy and numeracy as well as exposure to a range of subject areas to allow for increasing specialisation in Years 11 and 12. Students begin to make choices in preparation for their Later Years of schooling and for transition to employment or further training.

A CRUCIAL STAGE IN SCHOOLING …

The Year VCE program is intended to:

1. Equip students to become independent learners capable of achieving to the very best of their ability.

2. Develop students with the knowledge and skills required for VCE/VET/VCE VM.

3. Provide choices for students to enable them to take responsibility for their learning and increase motivation and engagement.

4. Develop students’ time management and organisational skills in order for them to be adequately equipped for VCE/VET/VCE VM.

5. Develop social and emotional skills as well as knowledge of learning areas and academic skills.

6. Use the most recent research regarding the needs of adolescent learners to support and develop their learning.

7. Develop a range of opportunities for parent/guardians to be involved in their child’s education and be informed about their level of achievement.
