Years 11 and 12

In Years 11 and 12 students can select units from the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the VCE Vocational Major and VET courses. There is no additional charge for VET courses offered at the school.
The VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) is a vocational and applied learning program within the VCE designed to be completed over a minimum of two years. It prepares students to move into apprenticeships, traineeships, further education and training, university (via non-ATAR pathways) or directly into the workforce. The VCE VM can be tailored to the needs and interests of the student, to keep them engaged while developing their skills and knowledge.
 
SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF VCE VOCATIONAL MAJOR
To be eligible to receive the VCE VM, students must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 16 units, including:

• 3 VCE VM Literacy or VCE English units (including a Unit 3-4 sequence)
• 2 VCE VM Numeracy or VCE Mathematics units
• 2 VCE VM Work Related Skills units
• 2 VCE VM Personal Development Skills units, and
• 2 VET credits at Certificate II level or above (180 nominal hours)

Students must complete a minimum of three other Unit 3-4 sequences as part of their program.
Most students will undertake between 16-20 units over the two years.
 
Students will receive the appellation of ‘Vocational Major’ on their VCE certificates upon satisfactorily completing the VCE VM program.
A VCE VM student will be awarded the VCE, without the VM appellation, if they meet the minimum requirements for satisfactory VCE completion, but not the minimum requirements for the satisfactory completion of the VCE VM appellation.
