The Years 9 and 10 Badano students have been working through their subject selection choices for 2026. Students have been engaged in pathway planning, with one of these pathways beginning in Year 11 being the VCE Vocational Major option. The VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) is a 2-year vocational and applied learning program that opens pathways to apprenticeships, traineeships and the workforce. Students do not receive an ATAR but can still pursue further study via various pathways. 

“ It’s a hands-on option within the VCE. Students learn through real projects, group work, and workplace learning.”

Who is the VCE VM program for? 

• Students wishing to enter employment, TAFE or an apprenticeship
• Students who are driven towards working with others or working in the community
• Students who want to gain a variety of skills
• Classes are more practical where possible, there remains a writing/theory component to all classes. 

 *VCE VM carries a 90% attendance requirement
