The VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) is a single certificate which will normally be completed by school students over a minimum of two years.
For successful completion of the VCE, students will need to satisfactorily complete sixteen units of study, including:
Three units of English
And
Two units from Group A studies
And
Two units from Group B studies
And
Three sequences of Units 3 and 4 studies other than English
Up to eight of the units of study may be VCE units obtained across two VET Programs.
At Wanganui Park Secondary College there are some selected students who will complete Level 1 and 2 units during their last semester of VMG and they will complete some unit 3 and 4 units during their Year 11 year. We encourage students to attempt some level 3/4 units in their first year of VCE as it gives them an extra unit to include in their TER (Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank). This should be discussed with parents and counselors when choosing Units 1 and 2.
W.P.S.C. Policies
In the first year of VCE at W.P.S.C. you will be expected to undertake a Course of Studies involving Twelve (12) units (6 per semester).
As English is a compulsory study you are required to choose 10 other units (5 per semester).
One VCE unit in Year 10 is recommended.
