New Study Design

In Term 4, VAPS & VCAA will facilitate a New Study Design Workshop. Now that the study design and texts have been released, we can work to upskill teachers on its implementation. If you would like to be contacted when this event if finalised, please fill in this form here.

VCE Resources - Contemporary Articles

We have started to curate a document with recent texts that are relevant to VCE. You can access and contribute to the document from the members section of our website (login required).

 

VCE Set Text Audiobooks

VAPS has recently published audiobooks available for free via Spotify for the current VCE Philosophy Set Texts. These are particuarly useful to have the texts all in one place, and also for texts that jump around and skip sections of the original (e.g., Descartes). These audiobooks will allow you to listen to only those sections that form part of the set text.
