CHES 

Centre for Higher Education Studies

The Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES) is a government funded centre for senior secondary school-aged students, providing them opportunities for greater stretch and challenge in their final years of school. CHES makes available first year university-level studies and select VCE subjects for students, which students will be able to access onsite or online.

VCE studies through CHES: 

• Algorithmics Units 3 & 4 
• Extended Investigation Units 3 & 4
• English Language Units 1 – 4 
• Specialist Mathematics Units 1 – 4

Students participating in Higher Education Studies or a VCE subject through CHES remain enrolled at their chosen government school. This dual enrolment approach values and preserves a student’s established relationships within their local school community, while providing them with access to significantly expanded learning opportunities through CHES.
