The VCE offers a range of subjects to meet student interests and allow them to specialise in their chosen academic, practical, and creative field(s). The VCE is awarded to students upon the successful completion of their secondary education. It holds international recognition and serves as a gateway to both employment opportunities and further education.
VCE typically spans Years 11 and 12, but it can commence as early as Year 10. A number of our Year 10 students engage in select VCE enrichment units.
Within the VCE framework, students also have the option to pursue Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects.
Students work towards the ATAR, allowing them access to University placements upon completion of Year 12, as well as a wide variety of other training, educational, and workplace opportunities.
