VCE VM

VCE VM (Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major)

VCE VM is a senior secondary certificate of education and is a recognised pathway to Technical and Further Education (TAFE), university, apprenticeships/traineeships or employment.  This is offered to students entering Year 11.  

Students graduate Year 12 but do not receive an ATAR and will complete the regular school activities (such as camps, formal etc.).

Students completing VCE VM must undertake the following studies:

• Literacy and Numeracy Skills

• Industry Specific Skills

• Work Related Skills, including structured workplace learning and

• Personal Development Skills.

• VCE sequence Units 1- 4 (Foundation Math Units 1-4 is covered as the Numeracy Skills component of VCE VM)

Furthermore, students will be enrolled in a TAFE course, completing a certificate II or certificate III.  Students participate in Structured Workplace Learning as an integral component of the course.

If your child is interested, they must attend our VCE VM Information Session on XXXXX August.  For more information, please visit the official VCAA VCE VM page  or contact our VCE VM Coordinator, Mrs Jess Dixon, dix@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au

The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) is an inclusive, flexible option to complete your studies.   It’s designed for students who, for various reasons, aren’t able or ready to complete the VCE or VCE VM.  The VPC is not an option for all students and will be recommended by your school to meet the needs of a specific student, decided in partnership with the student, parent and the school.  Further information can be found in the VCAA VPC Handbook
