VCE News and Key Dates

On behalf of all VCE staff I would like to welcome our VCE students and families to 2024.

In the first week of school Year 11 and 12 students have attended assemblies where expectations for the year were outlined. A summary of some key points are below:

• Use of Compass and student email is expected as important information will be communicated via these platforms.
• All Year 11 & 12 students are to use the library for their study periods. Students are required at school by 9am every day for the start of Period 1, regardless as to whether they have scheduled classes or not.
• Students may leave the school premises only after their final scheduled class each day.
• Attendance in all classes is closely monitered to ensure students are meeting the minimum VCAA class time requirements. Students must provide adequete documentation for an absence to be ‘VCE Approved’, for example a medical certificate where necessary or are at risk of receiving a “Not Satifactory” result for the unit. 
• It is an expectation students are completing homework regularly. For Year 11 students this is recommended at 10 hours per week, and for Year 12 student 15 hours per week. 

If you would like clarification on any of the above please see the full VCE hanbook emailed to students and guardians earlier this week or contact me via the school phone or

I would also like to congratulate Year 12 students on their exemplary behaviour at Year 12 camp last week. They bonded with their classmates as they gear up for a big year!

TOP DESIGNS

Congratulations to Jamie Phelps, who has been selected to exhibit their VCE Systems Engineering work in Top Designs 2024 at Melbourne Museum.

Top Designs is an annual exhibition coordinated by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) in partnership with Museums Victoria, showcasing outstanding design works made by VCE and VCE VET students from schools across the state.

This year, only 92 works were selected for the exhibition from over 1,000 applications. Selected works exemplify the innovation, skill and creativity that can be achieved within the Victorian Curriculum.
