Acceleration in VCE 

Acceleration:  Unit 3 & 4

Students who have completed Units 1 - 2 in Year 10

Students who have completed the Unit 1-2 sequence of a subject in Year 10 do not need to complete an application for acceleration and will be given preference to complete the Unit 3-4 sequence in that subject in Year 11.

However, this should not be assumed.  Where satisfactory results have not been maintained due to a lack of application, students will not be permitted to proceed.


Students who have NOT completed Units 1- 2 in Year 10

Students may apply to take one Unit 3-4 sequence in place of one of the Unit 1-2 studies. 

In order to be eligible to undertake a Unit 3-4 sequence in a subject for which they have NOT completed the Unit 1-2 sequence, students must demonstrate achievement in their 2024 studies.  As a guide:

Please Note: Only the following subjects can an application for acceleration be submitted to complete  Unit 3&4 (Year 11) without having completed the Unit 1-2 sequence:

 

Year 12 student choices will take preference. 
Students are strongly encouraged to discuss this option with their Year 10 subject teacher and the appropriate Learning Area Leader.

It is expected that all students who undertakes a Unit 3/4 subject in Year 11 will complete the full complement of subjects in Year 12 unless medical and/or other evidence is produced that demonstrates that the student would be otherwise unable to successfully complete the VCE.

Please note that applications without the required evidence will not be considered.
