VCE/VET/VCAL NEWS
GAT EXAM
The VCAA have rescheduled the GAT to Thursday August 12.
The rescheduling of the GAT allows schools time to organise logistics and ensure COVID-safe protocols are in place so the GAT can be delivered in line with relevant health and safety requirements.
As per previous arrangements, there will be no scheduled VCE classes. VCAL classes will run on this day.
Further communication will be circulated closer to the date.
